AKS Migration: 1-Week Assessment

Canonical

AKS Migration assessment from Canonical - your first step to cloud-native transformation journey.

Canonical enables an end-to-end cloud-native transformation journey from assessment to build, and finally migration implementation. It is a 3-phase approach, starting with the assessment. The other phases are containerisation and then migration to Azure/AKS.
AKS migration assessment is a comprehensive consulting package to assess your readiness and plan your enterprise application modernization and migration to Microsoft Azure and Azure Kubernetes Service.

Business benefits

  • Understand your application’s cloud readiness, components and relationships, software provenance and lifecycle to execute your cloud strategy
  • Modernize your enterprise applications and deliver new innovations to your customers quickly
  • Improve operational efficiency and reduce your overall IT spend on applications maintenance on-prem by having an insight into the portfolio of apps that can be migrated to AKS
  • Accelerate time to market and drive agility by transforming your enterprise apps to cloud-native and running the workloads on AKS
