Exam scenario

The solutions to the exam scenarios can be found on the Assessments page at the end of the book.

MegaCorp Inc. currently leases space in a third-party data center, but their current contract is coming to an end in 6 months. They have decided to migrate some of their workloads to Azure to reduce costs. However, any move must be completed before the contract end date.

Much of their server estate consists of web applications running on Windows Server 2018 with Internet Information Services server installed, file servers, and Windows SQL servers.

Some websites run on web server farms – multiple web servers built as load-balanced clusters running various websites.

Most of the SQL servers are running standard databases, but they are concerned some older databases may be using outdated features and procedures.

Develop a migration strategy, suggestion tooling, and highlight any potential issues they might encounter.
