Modern infrastructure demands speed, scalability, and consistency. Yet many organizations still rely on manual processes that are slow, error-prone, and difficult to reproduce. This is where Infrastructure as Code (IaC) becomes essential, and why Terraform stands out as the leading solution for cloud automation across platforms.
Azure and AWS are two of the market’s leading cloud service providers. If you’re a decision-maker for your organization’s cloud solutions, chances are you’ve considered the differences between these two main players. Alternatively, maybe you’re currently in the process of choosing a cloud provider. If that’s the case, Emergent Software is here to help!
Migration refers to the process of moving data, applications, or entire systems from one environment to another. This could involve transitioning from on-premises infrastructure to the cloud, upgrading to a new software platform, or consolidating disparate systems into a unified solution. There are several common migration techniques that organizations employ, each with its own benefits and challenges. Some popular approaches include lift-and-shift migrations, where applications are moved as-is to a new environment, and re-platforming, which involves some level of optimization or modification during the migration process. Repurchasing represents another approach that has been gaining momentum in recent years.
Refactoring is defined as the process of restructuring existing code without changing its external behavior or functionality. It is a disciplined technique for improving the internal structure and quality of a codebase while preserving its observable outputs. The primary goal of refactoring is to make the code cleaner, more understandable, and easier to maintain over time.
Data migration is a complex but increasingly necessary process for small-to-medium businesses and mid-market companies looking to modernize their technology stack. This often involves moving legacy on-premises systems to the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. A key success factor in Azure migrations is the concept of "retaining" - preserving existing data, configurations, and customizations in the cloud to minimize business disruption.
