-Migrating data is a critical part when moving from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to Microsoft Azure. This process involves transitioning your databases while making sure they work similarly in the new environment. The scope of this migration covers various database types, including relational databases, NoSQL databases, and data warehouses. For example, a workload that involves migrating a Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL database to Azure Database for PostgreSQL.
+Data migration is a crucial step when you move from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to Azure. This process requires you to transition your databases while making sure that they work effectively in the new environment. The scope of this migration includes various database types, such as relational databases, NoSQL databases, and data warehouses. For example, your migration might include a workload that migrates a Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL database to Azure Database for PostgreSQL.
 
 ## Component comparison
 
-Start the process by comparing the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) database and services used in the workload to their closest Azure counterparts. The goal is to identify the most suitable Azure services for your workload.
