Azure migrations are high-change projects: new landing zones, new services, a new cost model, and tight cutover windows. In this session, we’ll migrate a sample AI-based application to Azure using Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and show how to keep visibility and guardrails in place before, during, and after the move. CAF’s operational tracks (governance, security, and management) run in parallel with adoption, so we’ll treat them as “build-as-you-migrate” work, not a cleanup phase
You’ll learn how to establish a pre-migration performance baseline using metrics, logs, and traces; track service health, and coordinate response during high-risk change windows using Datadog. 
We’ll also cover governance guardrails that scale across subscriptions: consistent tagging, real-time architectural visibility with live diagrams, and FinOps workflows that ingest Azure cost exports into Cloud Cost Management and drive proactive cost monitoring.
