Application Migration to Azure
The cost of application migration to Azure varies according to the size of the application. For a small app, medium/large app migration to Azure, the cost will be $5000-$15000 and $20000-$250000 respectively.
In order to maintain transparency and no error in migration, Livyoung Realtech Enterprise suggests iterative form of migration to Azure. As far as the time is concerned, the standard iteration often takes two to three months.

Steps to Migrate Applications to Azure
We at Livyoung Realtech Enterprise follow the below mentioned steps in order to smoothly migrate apps to Azure:
1. Perform an Azure migration feasibility study and inventory of applications and servers
Before migration to Azure prepare a list of your reasons as to why such migration is significant and thereafter determine the scope of the Azure migration.
Ensure that your cloud migration plan incorporates all the vital app elements and define cloud app deployment tooling along with assessing the compatibility, and scalability of the workloads with Azure.
Lastly, outline the business outcomes, risks involved, and costs required to successfully migrate apps to Azure.
2. Plan Azure migration (and application modernization)
Find out out-migration project stakeholders, migration order for workloads, team roles, and which deployment model will suit you.
Later, you can choose the best migration approach such as rehost, refactor, re-architect, and rebuild, or a combination of it, for your app depending on the migration needs and objectives.
Schedule your app migration and identify the right fit for Azure services such as compute, storage, analytics, continuous integration, delivery, and deployment.
3. Perform pilot Azure migration (optional)
As per the plan, the first landing zone for workloads will be deployed and then a part of the app functionality will be replicated to run in Azure.
Analyze the outcome of such migration and if required, adjust the application architecture along with the configuration of cloud infrastructure.
4. Execute phased application migration to Azure
Schedule and convey app downtime to whoever is concerned and set up a virtual data center and DevOps tools and processes.
Transfer the most essential workloads and their data to Azure, confirm whether the migration activities are not affecting apps’ functionality, and be ready with backup and disaster recovery solutions.
5. Manage and optimize your Azure environment
Set up monitoring and analytics tools such as Azure Monitor, Azure Advisor, Azure Log Analytics, and more, and monitor the functionality and performance of migrated apps.
Keep a check on app changes and update the configuration after migrating to Azure, together with improving security and performance levels.
Augment app architecture, make use of AutoShutdown, etc. and low-priority VMs with Azure Batch, and so on.

A mix of an in-house team and outsourced consultancy
In-house team being aware about the current software environment and access the assets easily. Outsourced team will offer expert guidance on every matter and fills up the gap, if any.
Risk involved in consultancy team selection. Require much time to set up the relationship between the two
