migrate On prem WAS IBM application to tomcat on azure

Hi ,

We are looking for any migration advisor tool that could help in discover and create assessment report to facilitate migration of On-prem WAS applications to tomcat on azure. please suggest a way.


Requirement is that we need to run an assessment to check if the WAS IBM applications are good to be migrated to open liberty or tomcat and if migration is complex, then lift and shift to WAS cloud nd.

for Open liberty we are able to get the assessment reports using IBM transformation advisor, so similarly need to check for any suitable tool for tomcat as well.


Thanks
Anjali

@GobariAnjali-0597, Thanks for posting a great question!

Firstly, to begin with and provide you a good understanding on several options hosting website on Azure. Azure offers several ways to host websites: Azure App Service WebApps (PAAS solution), Virtual Machines (IAAS), Service Fabric, Azure Storage (for static website), etc.

Typically, you can leverage any service that best suits your requirement. On an Azure Virtual Machine, you would typically perform the exact same steps/process as you would on-premises. Azure App Service is the best choice for most web apps. Deployment and management are integrated into the platform, sites can scale quickly to handle high traffic loads, and the built-in load balancing and traffic manager provide high availability.

See, this doc 'Choose an Azure compute service for your application' for more details on this topic and make the right choice for your web application.

On Azure App Service - Download the App Service migration assistant—You can run readiness checks and get potential remediation steps for common issues. Receive step-by-step guidance for moving your web app to App Service.

You may use these two variants (assistant) for a reference/checklist.
