---

An organization's journey to the cloud often starts with a lot of excitement and it can quickly lead to some confusion regarding the most effective path forward. Companies support tens or hundreds of applications, and what works for one application may not work as well for another application. There are so many options to get there, from a straight-forward re-host by moving your VMs to the cloud, to a re-architecture exercise, which will allow you to take full advantage of Cloud-only capabilities that enable scalability and ability to iterate quickly to deliver value to your users. This session will give you an overview of the different strategies to move to Azure, including a typical roadmap to get you from on-prem to a Cloud-first world. We will cover different compute models, such as IaaS, PaaS, and Serverless. As part of the cloud strategy, we will introduce DevOps best practices that will enable your team to innovate quickly and consistently. You will learn about Azure capabilities and migration strategies to go from on-premises to Azure. We will cover DevOps practices that will help teams deliver their applications to different compute models.
