Abstract

Kubernetes migration in industries creates unique challenges especially when shifting from VMware Tanzu to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Enterprises are rapidly adapting to AKS for optimizing operational costs, enhance scalability, and meet stringent compliance requirements. The objective of this research paper is to learn about the migration framework, addressing critical factors such as workload containerization, automated infrastructure as code (IaC), networking reconfiguration, and identity and access management (IAM) alignment.
