Course Overview

The Microsoft course PR-602: Migrate and Secure Windows Server and SQL Server (Migrate Compute) is designed for IT professionals tasked with modernizing on-premises workloads in Azure. Aligned with Microsoft’s cloud migration and security best practices, this training prepares administrators, solution architects, and technology managers for real-world cloud transformation initiatives. With over 70% of Fortune 500 companies relying on Azure for hybrid and cloud workloads, mastering migration strategies has become essential. The course focuses on securely moving Windows Server and SQL Server environments to Azure, covering assessment, replication, and post-migration security hardening using Microsoft’s recommended tooling and frameworks.

Students engage with key Microsoft technologies including Azure Migrate, Azure Virtual Machines, Azure SQL Database, Microsoft Entra ID, Azure Resource Manager, and the Azure Portal. Through hands-on labs, learners configure and deploy migration scenarios using agentless replication for Hyper-V environments, assess on-premises servers, and perform test failovers. A core lab project involves setting up an Azure Migrate project, deploying the Azure Migrate appliance, and executing a secure migration of a Windows Server workload into Azure IaaS. These labs are conducted in the Azure Portal, providing real-world experience in planning, executing, and validating migrations while integrating Zero Trust security principles and identity access controls.

PR-602: Migrate and Secure Windows Server and SQL Server (Migrate Compute) prepares professionals for roles requiring Azure infrastructure expertise and supports preparation for Microsoft Azure certification paths. IT professionals with Azure migration skills command median salaries of $110,000 annually, according to industry labor data. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official Microsoft courseware, and instructor-led labs that ensure practical mastery. By completing this course, learners gain the expertise to lead secure, efficient cloud migrations and advance into cloud-focused roles such as Cloud Migration Specialist or Azure Infrastructure Engineer.
