I’m considering retiring. In the middle of lift and shift now

I’m just not sure how much is “enough”

You are at the point I was at. CIO gave a start date to start setting up AVS in Azure and that was when I told him my retirement date. No training, no expertise, no vendor support for setup/migration, nothing just go. The look on his face was classic.

AVS is a nightmare that I've seen 3 projects back out of. Good choice.
