Migrating your applications to Azure instances running a newer version of Windows Server is the recommended approach to ensure that you are effectively leveraging the flexibility and reliability of the Azure cloud. Pre-configured images with different combinations of Windows and 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 2003 migration strategy](https://www.microsoft.com/cloud-platform/windows-server-2003).
