Application Migration to Windows Azure
Application Migration to Windows Azure, 2nd EditionReference \ Patterns & Practices Handbook
This is the first book in the patterns & practices series on the Windows Azure platform. The book examines various aspects (changes in architecture, cost, monitoring and diagnostics of the system, etc.) of the migration of a local application to the Microsoft cloud platform - Windows Azure. The book describes the migration by the example of the aExpense application, this is an ASP.NET application for approval of expense reports. First, the book will help to get a good idea of the issues that need to be considered when migrating an application to the cloud, and, secondly, the book provides answers to a number of practical tasks that are relevant not only when migrating an application, but simply when developing any cloud application.

Migrating data-processing applications to Windows Azure
Migrating data-processing applications to Windows AzureReference \ Patterns & Practices Handbook
When transferring an application from a local platform to the cloud, several problems should be solved. This book describes recommendations for migrating local applications that are based on working with data. In particular, the book describes the issue of migration planning, for example, ways to reduce idle time during a transition; various migration considerations are considered: based on Windows Azure virtual machines (IaaS-based approach) or cloud services (PaaS-based approach); provides recommendations for migrating code from SQL Server to SQL Database and improving the performance of the SQL Database, as well as ensuring high availability of the solution.
