Then, youll investigate why distributed architectures are compelling and the various components of the Azure platform needed during migration. After that, youll explore the approaches to modernizing legacy applications and the Rs of modernizing (i.e., rehost, refactor, rearchitect, and retire). Youll also learn about integration approaches and potential pitfalls. By the end of this book, youll be well equipped to modernize your legacy workloads while being aware of pitfalls and best practices.What you will learn
