A company is moving to Microsoft Azure. Some applications cannot be moved. You need to identity which application will remain in a hybrid environment after the migration. Which applications will remai

Applications managing sensitive information can be fully migrated to Azure, as Azure provides robust security, encryption, and compliance features to handle sensitive data.

While USB token devices present a physical dependency, this is an authentication mechanism that can be addressed through modern cloud-based identity solutions like Azure AD, rather than requiring a permanent hybrid setup.

Legacy applications that rely on message-based interfaces (such as MSMQ or other on-premises messaging systems) often have deep dependencies on local infrastructure and proprietary protocols that cannot be easily replicated in the cloud. These applications typically need to remain on-premises while integrating with cloud-hosted services, making them prime candidates for a hybrid environment where both on-premises and cloud components coexist.

New servers running line-of-business applications are ideal candidates for full cloud migration since they are modern and can be designed or re-architected to run natively in Azure.
