Migration from on-premise infrastructure to Azure!

I'm a student and have just started to learn about IT infrastructure. I have been tasked with investigating and developing a plan to migrate to Microsoft Azure and Office 365 from the current on-premise infrastructure.
My existing local virtual infrastructure consists of the following:
2 x Domain Controllers (Windows Server 2016)
2 x Exchange Mail Servers (Exchange 2016 on Windows Server 2016)
1 x SQL Server (SQL 2016 on Windows Server 2016)
1 x IIS Server (Windows Server 2016)

I just want a high-level of overview how should I approach this type of hypothetical task. I have already gone through a couple of blogs and videos but I just want technical details such as what should I migrate first, how should I migrate DCs (within 5-7 steps that need to keep in mind), etc. Please anyone can help? Per migration instance even if I get 5-6 suggestions, it would be really helpful. I just need a high-level of overview. I'm already familiar with 4 steps of Assess, Migrate, Optimize and Manage & Secure.

    Hi @Chrisk ,

    is there a VPN gateway running between the on-premises and Azure environment?
    Or it's a full migration -> All listed VMs should be migrated to Azure and nothing is left on-premises?

    The easiest option to migrate on-premises computers to Azure should be Azure Migrate.
    To get started with Azure Migrate please take a look here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/migrate-services-overview
    On the left side of the webpage you will find different tutorials and concepts.
