There is a mass migration going on today in IT.  Everyone is moving to the cloud.  Cloud computing provides many advantages and benefits over traditional on-premise approaches.  However, getting to the cloud can be a challenge for web applications which were not architected from the ground up for today’s major cloud platforms.  In this session we’ll look at some of the challenges with migrating existing web applications to the cloud.  We’ll use DotNetNuke as a case study for some of the challenges we faced and the solutions we used to overcome these challenges.
