Tech Session: Azure Hybrid Migration Readiness and Secure Architecture Planning
Speaker:
Waseem Awwad – Microsoft MVP, Security and Azure
Event Type:
Online technical community workshop
Workshop Description:
Join this online technical workshop focused on Azure hybrid migration readiness and secure architecture planning using Microsoft cloud technologies, practical governance controls, and real-world implementation considerations.
This workshop will walk through the key areas that organizations need to assess before moving workloads or services to Azure or operating hybrid environments. The discussion will cover workload assessment, dependency mapping, hybrid connectivity, identity integration, Azure network design, monitoring, backup considerations, governance, and security controls that should be reviewed before migration. It will also explain why cloud migration should not be treated only as an infrastructure move.
The workshop will help attendees understand how early architecture and migration decisions can affect security, operations, compliance, and long-term manageability. The session will also highlight practical examples of common migration risks, such as unclear workload dependencies, weak access design, incomplete network planning, missing monitoring, and security requirements being added too late in the migration process.
This workshop is designed for cloud architects, infrastructure teams, IT professionals, security professionals, and technical decision-makers who want practical guidance on planning Azure hybrid migration with security, operations, and governance included from the beginning.
