How can a C# Developer transition from traditional web development to building cloud-native applications on Azure?

A C# developer already has a strong foundation for moving into Azure cloud-native development through .NET and modern application architecture. The transition can include Azure App Service, Functions, containers, Azure Storage, messaging, databases, managed identity, monitoring, and CI/CD. Developers should also understand scalability, resilience, observability, and distributed-system design rather than simply hosting existing applications in the cloud. This discussion explores a practical path from traditional ASP.NET development to cloud-native Azure solutions.
