**Stack:** Azure · AVD · Sentinel · Backup

## The situation

The data-center lease is up in 14 months. Half your VMs haven't been touched in three years. Nobody wants to be the one to migrate the legacy app.

## The problem

On-prem infrastructure is expensive to keep and scary to leave. Lift-and-shift alone just moves the mess and adds a meter to it.

Backups exist but restores are untested. Security monitoring is a folder of alerts nobody reads.

## Solved looks like

- A landing zone built to Microsoft's framework: identity, networking, governance, and cost controls before the first workload moves.
- Workloads placed deliberately — modernized to PaaS where it pays, migrated where it doesn't, retired where nobody notices.
- Sentinel watching the estate, backups that restore, reservations and Hybrid Benefit applied so the bill drops instead of drifting.
