In this workshop, you will gain experience designing and implementing a strategy for migrating Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and MySQL database workloads to Azure.
At the end of the workshop, you will be better able to design and implement an Azure migration strategy for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and MySQL database workloads using Azure Virtual Machines, and Azure Database for MySQL.
In this whiteboard design session, you will learn to design a strategy for migrating existing on-premises Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and MySQL database workloads to Azure. Throughout the whiteboard design session, you will look at the virtual machine (VM) pricing and migrating MySQL database workloads to Azure.
At the end of the workshop, you will be better able to design a migration strategy for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) workloads to Azure VMs and MySQL database workloads to Azure Database for MySQL.
