Azure cloud migration

Migrate to Azure on a Cloud Adoption Framework landing zone, with Entra ID, governance and licensing handled properly.

  • Fixed-scope migration programme
  • From USD 35,000
  • Updated

The short answer

Azure cloud migration moves workloads into Microsoft Azure. LDelight builds an enterprise-scale landing zone following the Cloud Adoption Framework — management groups, Entra ID, policy and networking — then migrates in waves, applying Azure Hybrid Benefit and reservations to control run cost.

Key takeaways

  • Cloud Adoption Framework enterprise-scale landing zone
  • Entra ID integration with conditional access and PIM
  • Azure Hybrid Benefit and reservations applied against a real baseline
  • Azure Policy guardrails so drift is prevented, not just reported
Azure cloud migration

Azure rewards organisations that already run Microsoft estates — but only if the identity and governance foundations are right. Migrations that skip that step end up with sprawling subscriptions, inconsistent policy and a licensing position nobody can explain.

Landing zone on the Cloud Adoption Framework

We implement the enterprise-scale architecture: management group hierarchy, subscription topology, hub-and-spoke networking with Azure Firewall, Entra ID with conditional access and Privileged Identity Management, and Azure Policy assignments that block non-compliant deployments rather than reporting on them afterwards.

Licensing is part of the design

Azure Hybrid Benefit on eligible Windows Server and SQL Server workloads, plus reservations against steady-state compute, routinely change the economics by 30–40%. Deciding this after migration means paying list price during the most expensive months.

Waves and validation

Azure Migrate handles assessment and replication. Workloads move in dependency-ordered waves, each with a validation gate and a rollback path.

What you get out of it

  • Governance enforced by policy rather than by review meeting
  • Licensing position understood and optimised
  • Security posture visible in one place
  • Predictable, attributable monthly spend

FAQs about Azure cloud migration

If your identity, productivity and licensing already sit with Microsoft, Azure usually wins on total cost and on how quickly your team becomes productive. If your engineering team already has AWS depth, that experience is worth more than a marginal price difference. We will give you a recommendation with the reasoning, and we are equally happy delivering either.

On eligible Windows Server and SQL Server workloads it commonly removes 30–40% of the compute line. It applies only if you hold Software Assurance or qualifying subscription licences, so we verify entitlement during assessment rather than assuming it.
