Migrating your applications to Azure instances that run on a newer version of Windows Server is the recommended approach to ensure that you are effectively using the flexibility and reliability of the Azure cloud. Pre-configured images that have different combinations of Windows and Microsoft SQL Server are available in the Marketplace and enable you to run any compatible solution on our cost-effective, high-performance, reliable cloud computing platform. For more information, see [Windows Server 2012 migration strategy](/windows-server/get-started/upgrade-migrate-roles-features).
