The project will move suitable APIs, web applications, background workers, and databases to Azure Container Apps and Azure SQL, introducing a more efficient serverless architecture with capabilities such as event-driven scaling and scale-to-zero. You'll take ownership of the infrastructure that makes this migration possible, translating the target architecture into secure, reusable Terraform and helping guide key platform decisions along the way. This includes evaluating complex AKS and VM workloads, identifying what can be modernized, and determining what should remain on its current platform because of networking, storage, operating system, or Kubernetes-specific dependencies. You'll collaborate closely with engineering, security, data, and operations teams throughout assessment, design, testing, cutover, and rollback. What You'll Do * Lead the Terraform architecture for migration landing zones, networking, identity, security, application platforms, databases, monitoring, and environment promotion. * Build reusable Terraform modules and environments for Azure Virtual Networks, Private DNS, Private Endpoints, Network Security Groups, Azure Container Registry, Azure Container Apps, Azure SQL, Key Vault, managed identities, monitoring, and access controls. * Manage Terraform providers, remote state, locking, environment separation, module versioning, drift detection, policy checks, plan reviews, and approved CI/CD promotion. * Evaluate AKS workloads and troubleshoot control-plane interactions, node pools, scheduling, taints, affinity, probes, Services, Ingress, DNS, network policies, CNI, storage, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, operators, custom resource definitions, admission controls, and workload identity. * Assess containerized APIs and web applications for runtime dependencies, state management, configuration, database connections, health endpoints, startup behavior, scaling, ingress, egress, and external service dependencies. * Assess Windows- and Linux-based applications hosted on Azure virtual machines, including scheduled tasks, local file dependencies, operating system integrations, certificates, ports, service accounts, and legacy deployment processes. * Design Azure Container Apps environments for APIs, web applications, workers, jobs, and event-driven services using revisions, readiness checks, traffic splitting, rollback, KEDA, and scale-to-zero capabilities where appropriate. * Containerize VM-hosted applications using secure OCI images, multi-stage builds, non-root execution, vulnerability scanning, structured logging, and reliable health probes. * Determine when workloads must remain on AKS or virtual machines because of node dependencies, privileged access, operators, custom networking, persistent volumes, or operating system requirements. * Plan migrations from SQL Server or Azure SQL hosted on virtual machines to Azure SQL Database, Elastic Pools, SQL Managed Instance, or a retained virtual machine. * Manage database connections, validation, backups, cutover planning, rollback procedures, and measured capacity and performance sizing. * Establish observability, alerts, operational runbooks, security evidence, load testing, failure testing, and rollback procedures. * Partner with engineering, security, data, and operations stakeholders to document decisions and deliver a controlled migration. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Learning Kubernetes made easy with KubeCampus](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/348-learning-kubernetes-made-easy-with-kubecampus) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence)
