-# Migrate databases and data from Google Cloud
+# Migrate databases from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to Microsoft Azure
 
-Many workloads contain databases, such as transactional databases, data warehouses, caches, serach indexes, or specialized NoSQL stores. These databases contain the data necessary for your custom applications, AI/ML context/training, business intelligence operations, or commercial off the shelf (COTS) solutions. Microsoft Azure has guidance to help you migrate a workload that involve the componets that hold and secure your data.
+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.
 
-## Azure service awareness
+## Component comparison
 
-If you haven't yet selected your application platform in Azure, review the [Azure for Google Cloud professionals guide](/azure/architecture/gcp-professional/), which has a service mapping available for databases and data. This is a list that maps similar services between the two cloud providers.
+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.
 
-See, [Azure database services map](/azure/architecture/gcp-professional/services#data-platform) and the [Azure big data and analytics services map](/azure/architecture/gcp-professional/services#big-data-and-analytics).

-## Scenarios and component guides
+> [!NOTE]
+> This comparison shouldn't be considered an exact representation of these services' functionality in your workload.
 
-Microsoft publishes guidance for select services to help architects, developers, and database administrators plan their migration efforts. Use these guides, combined with guidance available for your other components, to assess, plan, and perform your migration.
+## Migration scenarios
 
-### TODO: Organize and present key migration content available for this technology area
+Refer to these scenarios as examples for framing your migration process.
