Microsoft Learn Live!
Migrate to the cloud

Migrate apps to the cloud, in this interactive workshop series

Microsoft Learn Live offers online courses delivered in real time with rich instructor interaction. We are available to answer your questions and help get you unblocked on your projects. Learn Live trainings include customized demos and examples relevant to your specific environment and needs.



In this series, you are a .NET developer working for a fictitious real estate company developing a consumer website for buying and selling property, and now it is time to make a move into the cloud.

To get the most out of this series of courses, you:

  • Are familiar with Visual Studio, C#, and the basics of ASP and.NET Core.
  • Know the basics of SQL, potentially with an on-premises SQL Server installation.
  • Access to an Azure subscription and some experience navigating and creating resources in the Azure Portal.
  • Are familiar with what Azure and “the cloud” are and have navigated the Azure Portal.
  • Have created some Azure resources and possibly tried out some demos, or even better, have gone through some Learn modules.

For code, resources, and links, head to github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mslearn-live-migrating-to-the-cloud.

Learn Live is part of Microsoft Learn, a thoroughly designed micro-learning experience combined with a hands-on approach that helps you arrive at your goals faster, with more confidence, and at your own pace. In addition to Q&A with Microsoft experts during the live broadcasts, our team will be available for assistance while you're working through the exercises on your own time.
