I delivered a training session for the IFS Technical Staff on the end-to-end process for migrating Azure Basic Public IP addresses to the Standard SKU. The session covered Microsoft’s Basic Public IP retirement, key behavioral differences between SKUs, and a step-by-step migration approach designed to achieve minimal downtime. 

Topics included prerequisite checks, change window planning, disassociation and upgrade workflows, NSG and “secure-by-default” considerations, dependency handling (e.g., Load Balancers, NVAs, VPN Gateway), and post-migration validation and rollback practices. The guidance equips teams to plan, execute, and verify migrations safely and efficiently while maintaining service continuity.
