Course Overview

The Microsoft course Migrating On-Premises workloads is designed to equip IT professionals with the skills needed to transition on-premises infrastructure to hybrid and cloud environments, specifically aligned with Azure services. This training supports preparation for the AZ-802: Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure certification exam, a key credential for modernizing enterprise IT operations. It is tailored for roles such as Windows Server Administrators, Cloud Solution Architects, and IT Technology Managers responsible for infrastructure modernization. According to Microsoft, over 95% of Fortune 500 companies use Azure, underscoring the high demand for professionals skilled in migrating on-premises systems to cloud platforms.

Participants engage with core Microsoft technologies including Azure Migrate, Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Storage Accounts, Windows Server Migration Tools, Storage Migration Service, and Microsoft Entra ID. The hands-on labs are conducted in the Azure Portal and utilize Azure Cloud Shell, where students configure migration appliances, assess physical servers, and perform live migrations of file servers and domain controllers. A key lab scenario involves using agentless migration to move Hyper-V workloads from on-premises to Azure IaaS VMs, including setting up replication and validating post-migration performance. These exercises simulate real-world projects such as lifting and shifting legacy Windows Server instances while maintaining security and compliance.

This Migrating On-Premises course prepares candidates for the industry-recognized AZ-802 certification, which validates expertise in hybrid cloud administration and is increasingly required by enterprises adopting Microsoft’s cloud ecosystem. Certified professionals report average salaries ranging from $85,000 to $120,000, depending on role and experience level. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and access to official Microsoft courseware, ensuring structured, instructor-led training that aligns precisely with exam objectives. Upon completion, learners are positioned to lead infrastructure transformation initiatives, driving organizational agility through seamless cloud integration.
