Modules in this learning path

Minimize the time and resources required to migrate your on-premises environment to Azure. Assess your current systems with Azure Migrate, and migrate them with Azure Migrate and Azure Database Migration Service.

Choose an agentless Hyper-V migration approach. Create an Azure Migrate project, enable Azure AD permissions, prepare the on-premises environment, and deploy the Azure Migrate appliance. Your on-premises workloads are now ready for the actual migration.

Enable VMs for replication by registering the Hyper-V host(s) to the Azure Migrate project. Configure Hyper-V VMs for replication, monitor, and run a test failover. After migration complete, migrated VMs should have security controls added.

In this module, you will learn to demonstrate the benefits and processes for moving a SQL Server database to Azure SQL Database.
