Upskilling for Technical Architect Design in Azure
I have a strong technical background and am interested in gaining hands-on experience with technical architect design. Could you please advise on the best ways to acquire these skills? I researched alternatives to ERP (Enterprise resource planning) on Google and found the list below of Azure components. Could you please also help to confirm whether I selected the appropriate data from Azure components?

Would you be willing to review it for any potential improvements? I'm eager to learn and refine my design based on your feedback.
Cloud Migration for large ETL Application
My organization is just beginning a long-term project to Migrate to Cloud. My department runs a set of applications that use ETL as the primary technology for performing a nightly batch and Java to power a User Interface to the data during work hours. The size of our primary database is > 10 TB, and that size is maintained only by aggressive Archive/Purge cycles. During an average nightly batch, we are shuttling > 1 TB of data between the DB and ETL servers. My question is, would anyone even consider moving just the database/UI for an application like ours to the Azure Cloud? The ETL application we use is not Azure friendly, and our batch code complex enough that converting to another platform could take multiple years. Can Cloud-to-Premise data transfer rates support the kind of large data extracts/writes that a nightly batch like ours requires?
