Deploy the Azure Migrate appliance in the source environment to start discovery of Hyper-V hosts and virtual machines, then register the appliance and review readiness and cost.

Connect and configure the Azure Migrate appliance, placing it on a separate subnet, ensure internet and Azure portal access to upload data, and avoid direct access to other virtual machines.

Create a migration assessment using discovery data from the appliance, configure region, VM size, and options, select machines, and save the assessment for Azure Migrate planning.

Explore a created Azure Migrate assessment, verify readiness and cost estimates, review VM groups and OS requirements, adjust properties, and export the assessment to Excel for migration planning.

Explore dependency visualization in Azure Migrate by installing the Microsoft monitoring and dependency agents on virtual machines and linking them to a workspace to export data.

Configure a new workspace, download Windows and Linux agents, register the agents with the workspace using its ID, and prepare for installation across virtual machines.

Install and configure agents on Windows virtual machines to enable dependency visualization, connect them to the workspace, and prepare for Linux agent deployment in the next steps.

Configure dependency visualization for Linux machines by downloading and installing agents on three Linux VMs via a Secich connection, then verify installation in the Azure portal.

View the dependency visualization to see server relationships and migration groups. Expand nodes to inspect processes, communications, operating system details, and agent-collected data over 24 hours to two weeks.

Create an Azure Migrate project, run discovery with a registered appliance, perform readiness assessments and cost planning, and visualize Windows and Linux VM dependencies for migration.

Perform a guided assessment of an on-premises database using the data migration assistant, determine migration options to Azure, including IaaS or PaaS, and plan the optimized move.

Register the required resource provider for migration in your Azure subscription. Add the database assessment and migration tools to your migration project to enable on-premises database assessment and migration.

Install and use the data migration assessment tool to detect compatibility issues between your source and destination databases and prepare your migration to Azure.

Learn how the data migration assistant detects on-premises databases, runs compatibility assessments, and surfaces migration recommendations to prepare for Azure SQL migration, including handling unsupported features.

Create the destination database as the target and set up the database migration service, then create the migration project, connect source and target with a private endpoint, and migrate.

Provision a destination Azure SQL Database by creating a new resource group, a unique server, and a target database for migration; configure size, networking, and credentials.

Create the Azure database migration service, connect it to a virtual network and on-premises environment, and compare offline versus online migration to minimize downtime.

Establish a private endpoint between the target database and the migration service's virtual network, enabling secure connectivity from source to target within Azure Migrate.

Create a database migration project in Azure Migrate by configuring source and target servers, selecting the database to migrate, choosing the activity type, and setting authentication for the migration.

Begin Eskimo migration as a prerequisite, set up a migration project in Azure database migration service, run offline migration with the standard tier, completing the schema migration.

Execute an offline data migration by mapping source to target, configuring tables and passwords, and starting the migration to move data from source to the Azure public cloud.

Verify the migrated database on the target by logging in, running queries, and checking the booking table to confirm data, then remove the private endpoint after migration.

Migrate the web and applications to Azure using Azure Migrate server migration, replicate data to an Azure storage account, and preserve private IP addresses before post-migration actions and recommendations.

Create a storage account in the migration resource group for Azure Migrate to replicate data during migration, using local irredentist storage in the same location with default settings.

Create a virtual network with two subnets (virtual machines and the smart hotel database) using the on-premises IP range, and configure a private endpoint to connect the Azure Eskil database.

Initiate Azure Migrate server migration, register Hyper-V with the Site Recovery provider and key, and finalize registration to begin discovery in West Europe, noting the target region cannot be changed.

Enable replication of Hyper-V virtual machines to Azure Migrate by importing the prior assessment, selecting the VM group, and configuring target network and VM size.

View replicated VMs in Azure Migrate, inspect migration status and settings, and edit size, resource group, and private IPs. Assign static private IPs on each VM to mirror on-premises addresses.

Discover how to migrate three virtual machines using Azure Migrate, including preparing the targeted resource group, running a test migration, and completing a successful planned failover with Azure Site Recovery.
