Migrating VM (on vmware) with multiple data disk mounted to Azure VM

Question

I am planning to migrate VM on Vmware to Azure VM, but not clear on how the attached disks migrates.

Dose the attached disks on VM (on vmware) migrate to Azure together with the OS-disk?

According to site recovery documentation size limit is 4TB per disk but not sure if that apply for Azure migrate.
Also it seems there are no limits on how many disks can be migrated.

Following is the sample setup of migrating VM (on vmware)

Windows server 2016:
OS-Disk(300GB),
Data-Disk1 150GB
Data-Disk2 150GB
Data-Disk3 100GB
Data-Disk4 2TB
Data-Disk5 1TB

I am expecting after migration, created (migrated) VM on Azure VM will show up as the same as the Original (VM with all disks attached)

-Yes.

According to site recovery documentation size limit is 4TB per disk but not sure if that apply for Azure migrate.
Also it seems there are no limits on how many disks can be migrated.
-For VMware to Azure, the data disk size limit is 32 TB per disk for both agentless and agent-based methods. Each VM can have up to 60 disks attached in agentless method and 63 disks in agent-based method.

I am expecting after migration, created (migrated) VM on Azure VM will show up as the same as the Original (VM with all disks attached)
-Yes, it will have all the disks attached that you select in the +Replicate workflow.
