@John Stawicki Greetings from Microsoft!

When migrating your infrastructure to Azure, the goal is often to avoid recreating everything manually and instead leverage tools and services that automate and streamline the migration process. Fortunately, there are several tools and approaches available to help migrate your existing settings, configurations, and data to Azure:

1.Azure Migrate is a comprehensive migration tool that helps you assess, plan, and migrate your on-premises workloads to Azure. It offers a range of features for different types of workloads:

Server Assessment and Migration: Evaluates on-premises servers and provides recommendations for migration. Supports virtual machines, physical servers, and databases.

Application Discovery: Discovers and maps application dependencies to plan your migration strategy.

Database Migration: Supports the migration of databases with minimal downtime.

Features:

Discovery and Assessment: Identifies workloads and assesses them for compatibility with Azure.

Server Migration: Provides tools for migrating VMs, applications, and databases to Azure.

Integration with Other Tools: Works with third-party tools like Corent Technology and Zerto for specific migration scenarios.

Azure Site Recovery (ASR) is designed primarily for disaster recovery but can also be used for migration. It replicates your on-premises VMs to Azure and can fail over to those VMs in Azure, which can be used as part of a migration strategy.

Features:

Disaster Recovery: Provides failover and failback capabilities.

Migration: Supports the migration of VMs and applications with minimal disruption.

Azure Database Migration Service (DMS) is used for migrating databases to Azure with minimal downtime.

Features:

Database Migration: Supports migration from SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle databases.

Assessment and Planning: Provides assessment of database compatibility and migration recommendations.

Looking for an Azure Monitor Agent migration tool.

Answer 1

@John Stawicki Thanks for providing more details about your ask!

If you're looking to migrate from the Log Analytics Agent (MMA) to the Azure Monitor Agent (AMA), there are several tools and resources available to help you with this process.

One of the key resources is the Azure Monitor Agent Migration Helper workbook. This workbook is a solution within Azure Monitor that helps you discover what to migrate and track progress as you move from the Log Analytics Agent to the Azure Monitor Agent. It provides a single pane of glass view to expedite and track the status of your agent migration journey. The helper supports multiple subscriptions and includes automatic migration recommendations based on your usage.

To use the Azure Monitor Agent Migration Helper workbook, navigate to the Azure Monitor page in the Azure portal, select Workbooks, and then scroll down to the AMA Migration Helper workbook. This will open the workbook on the Subscriptions Overview tab, where you can start managing your migration.

Additionally, there are migration tools available in public preview that can assist with the migration process. These tools are designed to simplify the transition and ensure that your data collection continues seamlessly.
