Don't forget shiny.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Again, it depends on if they are windows app, console app, web sites, windows services, etc.

If you have .Net programs you likely have .Net developers and so the learning curve for them to get into the cloud will be easier to stay with Microsoft, hence Azure.

Thanks. We are indeed using .NET so I agree that Azure is going to be the obvious choice. We currently are wanting to move toward a browser based interface to help support the cloud efforts. We currently have plans in place to move to .NET5 later this year, so we'll focus our efforts on getting familiar with Azure as our cloud platform. Thanks for the helpful feedback! :cool:

We currently have multiple software packages programmed in C# and use multiple SQL databases. I don't have a preference to AWS, Azure, or any other platform yet. Sounds to me if I understand you correctly, that Azure is going to be our best option. The big obstacle right now is that some of our software receives external input from devices connected to a computer (weight scales). Moving to a browser-based interface is presenting significant challenges to us because we operate under governmental security guidelines (FISMA, etc.)

and yet they are insisting on you moving everything into 'the cloud' which basically means your software and data sitting on someone else's machines. That makes little sense to me. Oh sorry I forgot, you mentioned the word government...

Believe me when I say that I've had this exact argument with them for 3 years. Also been arguing that .NET is not disappearing in the next year or two!

I know some places where Windows XP is still running stuff... (but to be fair... they are only connected to a local and isolated network of 3 or 4 computers without external access, but still XP 32 bit)
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Depends. Do you want me to let people know what you did last summer?

Sure, let them live vicariously. :)

I am attempting to migrate some of our custom-created in-house software to the cloud. I've done the basic research, but have yet to put the pieces together to form a simple basic task that truly employs something that is cloud-based. Can anyone point me to a suitable resource? I'm pretty intelligent, and understand the general concept of cloud computing, but need to know the nuts and bolts. Thanks in advance.
Of course you could just get an Azure VM Server. If you will have multiple sql databases, this would be the cheaper route. Technically, it is still 'in the cloud'. I have over 5 years experience with Azure WebApps using Azure SQL Server. It was very easy to setup and get going. We are in the process of moving the web apps and one remaining database to an Azure VM for multiple reasons: 0: Much cheaper 1: Better user experience since apps and databases are on the same box 2: Control over the environment Just my 2 cents. :)

In all the similar threads about cloud that I have seen, this is the best "graphical" example I can relate to.
