In the past year, organizations increasingly turned to the cloud to survive potential business disruptions. At Microsoft, we partnered with businesses of all sizes, to help them take advantage of the scalability, remote work enablement, and cost efficiencies of migrating to the cloud. As we plan for the future together, we expect customers will continue to leverage cloud investments to refine and reimagine their digital strategies with an eye on remote productivity, sustainability, and security.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo run airports during a pandemic is challenging. The Azure Migration Program (AMP) has helped us to successfully perform a lift-and-shift during the most pressing situation Swedavia has ever been in giving us access to top-of-the-line experts and advice during the project.\u201d\u2014<\/em>Joakim Eriksson, IT Director, Swedavia Airlines<\/p>\n

Today at Microsoft Inspire, we\u2019re announcing new and expanded programs, offers, and product investments\u2014helping customers to accelerate their migration and modernization journey with Azure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Azure Migration Program (AMP) is now Azure Migration and Modernization Program (AMMP)<\/h2>\n

Over the last 24 months, the Azure Migration Program (AMP) has helped thousands of customers unlock the benefits of the cloud, with the right mix of expert guidance and best practices to migrate to Azure. The\u00a0University of Leicester<\/a> and the\u00a0British Council<\/a> are two such examples. We are also supporting organizations in addressing their sustainability goals, helping AMMP customers become up to 93 percent more energy efficient by migrating to Azure.<\/p>\n

As we worked with these customers, they also asked for our help in modernizing their applications. Based on this feedback, we are happy to announce that Azure Migration Program is evolving to become the Azure Migration and Modernization Program (AMMP)<\/a> with support for app modernization scenarios. We are also expanding AMMP with new support for Azure Spring Cloud<\/a> and Azure Cosmos DB<\/a>. Learn more and join AMMP<\/a>\u2014to confidently move forward, together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe leveraged AMMP to modernize three mission-critical applications for a major healthcare company. AMMP not only jumpstarted our customer engagement but also helped us drive progress and land best practices for the cloud-like planning, discovery, and Landing Zone creation.\u201d\u2014<\/em>Todd Fine, Chief Strategy Officer, Atmosera<\/p>\n

Windows Server and SQL Server run best on Azure: Announcing free extended security updates for 2008\/R2 and 2012 servers\u2014only on Azure<\/h2>\n

Today, we are announcing Extended Security Updates for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2, and SQL Server 2012, free only on Azure. Customers running these releases of Windows Server and SQL Server on-premises will have the option to purchase Extended Security Updates.<\/p>\n

In addition, for customers who need more time to upgrade and modernize their Windows Server and SQL Server 2008\/R2, we will now provide one additional year of free extended security updates for 2008\/R2 servers only on Azure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Customers can take advantage of innovative Azure-only capabilities and ease the operational burden while modernizing Windows Server and SQL Server environments. For example, Azure Automanage<\/a> improves workload performance and uptime through simplified management for Windows Server and Linux VMs. Azure VMware Solution<\/a> allows customers to migrate quickly while continuing to take advantage of their VMware investments. Azure Virtual Desktop<\/a> helps customers modernize their Windows Server Remote desktop services (RDS) based Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments. Similarly, the\u00a0SQL Server IaaS extension<\/a> delivers automated management, patching, and backups for SQL Server VMs on Azure<\/a>. Read more about our end of support offers and the latest in Windows Server and SQL Server innovation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enhanced Azure migration and modernization tools<\/h2>\n

We continue to invest in a wide range of deployment options for container-based app modernization. In March, we previewed the App Containerization tool<\/a> that helps you quickly containerize and deploy your .NET and Java apps onto Azure Kubernetes Service. Today we are announcing that App Containerization supports container deployments to Azure App Service as well<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Azure Arc-enabled Azure SQL<\/a> (general-purpose tier) will be generally available on July 30, 2021. This enables customers to consistently manage their hybrid SQL Server environments during and after the move\u2014on their terms. Azure Arc now\u202fintegrates with Azure Lighthouse<\/a>, giving partners additional opportunities to manage resources across the edge, datacenters, and\u202fmulti-cloud\u202fenvironments.<\/p>\n
