Website or Web App Migration to Azure App Service — Cloud Migration

IT Partner migrates your website or web app from your current web server to Microsoft Azure App Service. The service can include analysis of the existing web server, identification of sites that can be migrated, installation and configuration of Web Apps Migration Assistant, and migration of sites and databases to Azure based on the selected migration items.

The intended outcome is that your website or web app is moved to Azure Cloud and works correctly and stably in Azure App Service. Migration is considered successful when the web app or website operates in Azure as expected and meets the stated acceptance criteria.

The listed price for this service is $450. The service SKU is ITPWW270MIGOT, and any scope beyond the stated migration service should be confirmed with IT Partner because additional work may require a separate fee.

The listed duration for this service is 1 day. The actual plan may vary depending on your needs, selected migration items, access readiness, and any issues found during verification.

The listed service manager for the Website or Web App Migration to Azure App Service is Mike Mackey. He is the named manager for this IT Partner service.

The engagement typically includes a kickoff meeting, elaboration specification, migration start, final deployment, and verification with issue fixes if needed. This sequence is designed to move the website or web app to Azure App Service and confirm that it works correctly and stably after migration.

Yes, IT Partner analyzes your web server installation and identifies which sites can be migrated to Azure App Service. IT Partner also highlights elements that cannot be migrated or are unsupported on the App Service platform, because not every web server component is necessarily compatible with Azure App Service.

Databases may be included when applicable based on the selected migration items. The stated responsibilities include migrating sites and databases from a remote server to Azure as applicable, so database scope should be confirmed during planning.

No, changes or modifications to website or web app functionality are not included. This service is focused on migrating the website or web app to Azure App Service, not redesigning, enhancing, or troubleshooting application functionality outside the migration scope.

No, ongoing website support is not included in this service. The engagement ends with migration deliverables such as the migration summary and project closeout report, while post-migration support would need to be handled separately if required.

Depending on the selected items, the migration may involve Azure App Service capabilities such as automatic scaling, automatic site backups, high availability and resilience, deployment slots, load balancing, DDoS protection, and traffic management. These capabilities are not automatically guaranteed for every migration, so the exact configuration should be confirmed with IT Partner.

The client must provide a dedicated point of contact, coordinate any outside vendor resources and schedules, provide needed access to servers, systems, services, and facilities, and perform required internal and external DNS changes. The client is also responsible for configuring networking equipment such as load balancers, routers, firewalls, and switches.

IT Partner is responsible for analyzing the web server installation, identifying migratable and unsupported elements, installing and configuring Web Apps Migration Assistant, and migrating sites and databases from a remote server to Azure as applicable. IT Partner’s exact responsibilities depend on the selected migration items.

The source service description does not list explicit prerequisites beyond the stated client responsibilities. You should confirm any required prerequisites with IT Partner, especially access needs, DNS readiness, networking requirements, and whether your website components are supported by Azure App Service.

The service description does not specify a guaranteed downtime window. Downtime or business impact should be discussed during planning because DNS changes, final deployment, application behavior, and the source environment can affect the cutover experience.

The client is responsible for performing changes to internal and external DNS as required. IT Partner handles the migration work, but DNS updates are explicitly listed as a client responsibility.

The engagement includes the migrated website or websites in Azure App Service, applicable migrated sites and databases, a migration summary screen showing migrated sites and links to the new Azure web apps, and a project closeout report. The closeout report includes final project status, evidence of meeting acceptance criteria, outstanding issues if any, and the final budget.

The implementation plan includes a “Verify and fix issues, if any” step. This means IT Partner verifies the migrated site and addresses issues within the migration engagement scope, but broader website support or functionality changes are not included.

Yes, the service description refers to website(s) being moved from the web server to Azure App Service. The number of sites and whether each can be migrated depends on the selected migration items and IT Partner’s analysis of the current web server installation.

The included deliverables are a migration summary screen and a project closeout report. More extensive documentation is not included by default and can be provided for an additional fee.
