(upbeat dramatic music) -
I'm Jeremy Winter, vice president for Azure cloud native.
Now, we continue to see a lot of momentum
with customers like yourself
moving ahead with cloud modernization.
So if you're looking for more information
and guidance for moving your existing apps,
data, and infrastructure to Azure,
or building net new apps in the cloud,
you're in the right place.
Okay, so let's get started
with just some quick context
before you all get rolling.
Two years ago, we were all responding
to the immediate needs created by the global crisis.
Businesses quickly moved to the cloud
to leverage the scale, agility, and flexibility
of the cloud to keep the lights on.
But now, two years later,
organizations are recovering
and looking to reimagine their business.
They're now fully comfortable with the cloud
and are focusing efforts on the modernization
and further optimizing their cloud investments.
And as you look to Azure,
our Azure platform solutions are geared
to enable business innovation
as you move to the cloud.
Azure offers fully managed application services
to help you innovate faster,
fully managed databases
with unmatched price performance,
and enterprise grade infrastructure
for all your mission critical workloads.
And we understand that you'll need to keep
some of your workloads on-premises,
yet still need a consistent way
of managing across on-premises,
multi-cloud, and the edge.
So with Azure Arc, you can extend
that same innovation to your hybrid environments.
This helps you write apps once
and run them where you need
while providing you the flexibility
to secure and govern on-premises resources
using such a cloud-centric approach.
And to compliment our solutions,
we have a comprehensive set of programs,
like Azure Migration and Modernization Program,
to help you move to the cloud with confidence.
As we go through the cloud momentum,
here's recent proof points showing how Azure
is the platform of choice for enterprises.
With the latest "Flexera 2022 State of the Cloud Report"
findings, Microsoft Azure usage
exceeded that of Amazon Web Services
and other providers for enterprises.
Now, as you look at innovating faster,
Azure provides a fully managed platform
to modernize your apps.
We have options ranging from our Azure Kubernetes Service
for those taking advantage of Kubernetes,
to manage PaaS with Azure App Service,
serverless solutions and enterprise API management,
and all the way to low-code offers
like Microsoft Power Apps.
You can accelerate your dev velocity and productivity
with our complete development tool set,
including GitHub's,
which powers 56 plus million developers.
And from a hybrid perspective,
Azure Arc for Kubernetes
can help you manage your Kubernetes applications
with a consistent GitOps approach
wherever your business needs it to run.
And talking about app innovation,
Volkswagen Financial Services and Jotun
are great customer examples
who innovated their apps with Azure.
Volkswagen Financial Services
used a combination of Azure App Service,
Azure DevOps, and Azure App Insights
across hybrid environments for their app portfolio,
thereby really enabling a consistent,
modern app development effort.
Okay, and let's take a look at the data solutions.
Most, if not all apps have data attached to them,
and database modernization is a key component
many of you are focused on
as you turn to the cloud for innovation.
But first though, a reminder that SQL Server 2012
end-of-life support is happening on July 12th, 2022.
Get ready for that by moving to Azure SQL
which simply has unmatched
in terms of SQL Server and compatibility.
Now, Azure provides several fully managed options
for your databases.
Be it SQL Server or open source DB or NoSQL,
Azure SQL delivers industry price performance
for SQL Server with built-in manageability,
providing you up to 99.995% SLA.
And using Azure hybrid benefit
plus free extended security updates,
you pay up to 86% less than the competition.
And again, if you need data to run local
within an environment due to proximity
or regulatory needs,
with Azure Arc-enabled data services,
you can run the same Azure SQL managed instance
on-premises or on other Kubernetes environments.
GE and Planzer are great examples
of customers who have modernized their data with Azure.
GE moved their mission critical Oracle e-business
completely in production environment to Azure
with no compromise on performance and availability.
Planzer moved their SQL and MySQL state
to fully managed Azure, SQL, and MySQL service
for administration and security advantages.
So now let's talk about infrastructure.
Azure offers enterprise grade infrastructure
with the most regions of all cloud providers
and a highly resilient architecture,
including availability zones,
in-region data center pairing,
and built in tooling for backup,
disaster recovery, and monitoring.
Azure also provides you purpose built solutions
for your critical SAP, VMware and Oracle,
as well as NetApp workloads,
along with strategic partnerships
with these companies.
And with Azure Arc for server,
we extend the Azure control plane
to your hybrid environments so you can manage,
govern, and secure your on-premises servers
just like you would any other Azure resource.
And if we look at a great set of customers here,
the Leeds Teaching Hospital NHS Trust in the UK
is a great example that took a big bet on Azure
by moving their mission critical
electronic health record system,
and are very much on a path
of transforming their entire healthcare experience
across doctors and patients.
Now let's talk about programs.
To help you simplify and accelerate your move,
we have the Azure Migration and Modernization Program,
also referred to as AMP.
AMP has helped thousands of customers
successfully unlock the benefit of the cloud
with the right mix of expert help
and best practices at each step.
With AMP, you can leverage
our prescriptive step-by-step guidance
from assessments to planning to execution.
And AMP also includes direct assistance
from fast-track engineers
to help you move with confidence.
Also, AMP provides offers and incentives,
such as subsidized services
from our highly specialized partners,
as well as credits to help you
offset the transition cost as you migrate.
We also have many new announcements on AMP as well.
And based demand from many of you,
we're excited to announce
that AMP has added support for several new scenarios.
First, for SAP, AMP now includes
both SAP lift and shift and SAP HANA deployments.
Next, with expanded application modernization
with support for Azure Red Hat OpenShift
and building net new cloud native apps.
And coming soon, AMP will also include resources
to help you with deploying Azure Arc
and associated services,
like Microsoft Defender for Security
and Azure Policy for those workloads on-premises.
As I close out, I want to thank you for participating
and for being a great customer with us.
The Azure teams and I are deeply committed
to your success.
We have a lot of great content to share with you
as you embark on both your modernization
and migration journey.
