What's the best way to migrate SharePoint 2013 to Azure?

Question

I have a farm with 4 sharepoint servers (all are application and front-end servers) and a database server, being 5 servers.

I need to migrate the farm to azure and I don't know much about it.
What would be the best way?

Could it be to create a clean farm in azure and take the database to this farm, being server by server?

Or is there a possibility to take copies of the servers to azure?

About license, can I continue using the one I have?

And connection to AD? What about Sharepoint Services?

I've always migrated sharepoint from one environment to another by attaching and detaching a database, but this for 1 server only.

Thanks

@Toriyama ,

From the view of SharePoint, usually we migrate the sharepoint server to sharepoint online with the dedicated tool.

However, if you want to migrate the whole farm to azure, as far as I know, Azure Site Recovery will cover best practices for replicating a three tier SharePoint application to Azure.

In addition, we suggest you ask questions under this link for technical questions about Azure Site Recovery:
