Q

Can Azure migrate help with migrating VMWare?

A

iMgrate VMs to Azure using agentless or agent-based migration.

For agentless migration, the Migration and modernization tool uses the same appliance, used for discovery and assessment of servers.

For agent-based migration, the Migration and modernization tool uses a replication appliance.

57
Q

Can Azure help with migrating the Physical Server?

A

You can migrate physical servers to Azure. You can also migrate other virtualized servers, and VMs from other public clouds, by treating them as physical servers for the purpose of migration. The Migration and modernization tool uses a replication appliance for the migration.

58
Q

Can Azure migrate help with migrating Hyper-V?

A

Migrate VMs to Azure.

The Migration and modernization tool uses provider agents installed on Hyper-V host for the migration.

59
Q

Can you preform agentless migration of ASP.NET to App Service.

A

You can perform agentless migration of ASP.NET web apps at-scale to Azure App Service using Azure Migrate.

60
Q

For agentless migration, how does Azure Migrate prefrom migration?

A

You deploy an application, and it connects to the vCenter

61
Q

When Azure Migrate is using an agent-based approach, how is migration performed?

A

The agent is installed directly on the VM; the physical server will be migrated.

62
Q

To prefrom an assessment of an on-prem vMWare environment, what do you need to deploy?

A

Azure Migrate appliance

63
Q

What can the Azure Migrate appliance discover in a VMware environment

A

Discover servers running in your VMware environment.

64
Q

How many servers can Azure Migrate appliance assess?

A

10,000 servers can be discovered by a single Azure Migrate appliance across up to 10 vCenters

65
Q

Can Azure Migrate appliance assessment be associated with several migration projects

A

No, just a single migration project.

66
Q

If I have three completely separate VMware environments., how may Azure Migrate appliance assess do I require?

A

Three Azure Migrate appliances, one for each separate environment.

67
Q

Does the zure Migrate: Discovery and assessment tool- Azure Migrate appliance discover the servers deployed on VMware?

A

Yes, Azure Migrate Appliance can discover servers deployed on VMware. The appliance can scan your VMware
environment and identify the virtual machines that are eligible for migration to Microsoft Azure.

When you run the discovery process with the Azure Migrate Appliance, it will:

  1. Scan your VMware environment
  2. Identify the virtual machines (VMs) that are compatible with Azure
  3. Collect metadata about each VM, such as its configuration, network settings, and resource utilization

The appliance can then use this information to create a list of eligible VMs for migration, which you can review
and select for further processing.

It’s worth noting that the discovery process may require some setup and configuration on your end, including:

  1. Installing and configuring the Azure Migrate Appliance
  2. Creating an Azure subscription and connecting it to the appliance
  3. Configuring any necessary network settings and credentials

Once these steps are complete, you can run the discovery process and begin identifying and preparing your VMs for
migration to Azure.

68
Q

Can the zure Migrate: Discovery and assessment tool - Azure Migrate appliance discover the server performance on VMware?

A

Yes, the Azure Migrate Appliance can discover server performance data on VMware. The appliance can collect various
performance metrics from your virtual machines (VMs) that are running on VMware, such as:

  1. CPU usage
  2. Memory utilization
  3. Disk I/O and storage usage
  4. Network bandwidth and latency

These performance metrics are collected through various means, including:

  1. VMware vCenter Server API: The appliance can connect to your vCenter Server and retrieve performance data from
    the VMs.
  2. VMware ESXi host agent: The appliance can collect performance data directly from the ESXi hosts that run your
    VMs.

The collected performance data is then analyzed and reported in various formats, including:

  1. CSV (Comma Separated Values) files
  2. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) files
  3. HTML reports

This performance data can be used to help you identify potential bottlenecks or areas for optimization in your VMs
before migrating them to Azure.

The Azure Migrate Appliance also provides some additional features to analyze and optimize the performance of your
VMs, such as:

  1. Performance score: The appliance calculates a performance score for each VM based on its performance metrics.
  2. Recommendations: The appliance provides recommendations for optimizing the performance of your VMs in Azure,
    such as adjusting CPU or memory resources.

Overall, the Azure Migrate Appliance can provide valuable insights into server performance on VMware, helping you
to better optimize and migrate your workloads to Azure.

69
Q

I am migrating a VMware environment to Azure; what can I use to help with the TOC calculation for all my servers?

A

The Azure Migrate: Discovery and Assessment tool helps estimate the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for migrating workloads to Azure by analyzing on-premises data and providing cost-saving insights.

Data Collection: Deploys a discovery appliance to gather configuration, performance, licensing, and OS data.

Cost Calculation: Provides cost estimates for recommended Azure resources, with right-sizing suggestions to avoid over-provisioning. It includes options like Reserved Instances and Azure Hybrid Benefit to reduce costs.

Comparative TCO Insights: Shows current vs. projected costs, breaking down expenses for compute, storage, and network to highlight savings areas.

Business Case Development: Prioritizes workloads based on TCO savings potential and helps develop cost-effective migration strategies.

What-If Analysis: Models various scenarios, showing TCO impact from resource scaling or region changes.

This tool enables organizations to predict Azure costs, optimize migrations, and make financially informed decisions.
