PR-602: Migrate and Secure Windows Server and SQL Server (Migrate Compute) — Lesson 1: Cloud Adoption, Discovery, Assessment, Dependencies, and Migration Planning

Topics Covered

• Apply Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework principles to compute migration planning
• Discover and assess Windows Server and SQL Server workloads with Azure Migrate concepts
• Document dependencies, readiness, sizing, cost, risk, and migration-wave decisions
• Course objectives, terminology, environment, roles, and realistic use cases
• Prerequisites, dependencies, assumptions, and expected business outcomes
• Baseline setup, safe working practices, and initial validation evidence

Guided Practice Steps

1. Translate the lesson requirement into a clear PR-602: Migrate and Secure Windows Server and SQL Server (Migrate Compute) implementation or analysis objective.
2. Document assumptions, selected tools or features, dependencies, risks, and expected results.
3. Perform the guided task, capture evidence, and compare the result with the acceptance criteria.
4. Record issues, corrective actions, and a reusable operational or development note.

Practical Activity

Create an assessment and migration-wave plan for a mixed Windows and SQL workload portfolio.

• Define the scenario, inputs, constraints, and expected outcome.
• Complete the activity and preserve screenshots, outputs, logs, code, or decision evidence.
• Review the result, identify gaps, and document corrective or improvement actions.

Validation Checklist

• The stated requirement and expected outcome are clear.
• Configuration, code, data, or design decisions are documented.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, and operational considerations are reviewed.
• Evidence supports the conclusion and the next action is prioritized.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can explain and apply Cloud Adoption, Discovery, Assessment, Dependencies, and Migration Planning within a realistic PR-602: Migrate and Secure Windows Server and SQL Server (Migrate Compute) scenario and support the result with validation evidence.
