Microsoft has introduced the Azure Migration Hub, a knowledge platform for migrating to the in-house cloud environment. It includes documentation, recommended actions and applications to support administrators during the migration to Azure. The platform focuses on moving workloads from competitors Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud. The software company promises practical content for specific migration scenarios and code examples.
Information for workloads and programming
According to a blog post, administrators can access ready-made instructions for switching from other cloud services to Microsoft Azure in the Azure Migration Hub. This includes the switch from AWS Lambda to Azure Functions, for example. The software company also offers its documentation explaining the differences between Microsoft products and competitor offerings. These include introductions to Azure for administrators who have previously worked primarily with Google Cloud or AWS, but also for specific applications such as Kubernetes services.
The knowledge platform also includes dedicated areas for migrating different workloads from AWS and the Google Cloud, such as computing, databases, storage, networks, and security. Alternatively, administrators can find out about the respective Microsoft services for these workloads and access their documentation. The Azure Migration Hub also contains additional content for cloud architectures and the use of Azure for software development in various programming languages, including .NET, PowerShell, Python and Java.

Microsoft wants to attract customers to the cloud
Microsoft is also integrating the existing information offered by Azure Essentials into the new knowledge platform and referring to support and pricing information for Azure applications. Microsoft has recently been aggressively promoting its cloud services. For example, the software company tried to convince its Exchange customers to switch to the cloud with AI functions and commissioned a study to prove the supposed benefits of Microsoft 365. Microsoft also recently announced price increases for the on-premises operation of its products.
