Data migration: Migrate the data from the existing database to the Azure database using a suitable migration method such as backup and restore, log shipping, or replication.
Application migration: Modify the application to use the new Azure database connection string.
Testing and validation: Verify that the migrated data and application are functioning properly in the new environment.
Optimization and monitoring: Continuously monitor and optimize the Azure database environment for performance, security, and cost efficiency.
Maintenance and support: Provide ongoing maintenance and support to ensure the continued availability and reliability of the Azure database environment.
