Discover how Azure Migrate helps you realize the benefits of moving your on-premises VMware or Hyper-V server workloads to Azure infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Learn the process for migrating your workload agent-less, all within the hub.
Learn how to check your prerequisite configurations in Azure and in your VMware vSphere environment and then perform the initial steps in Azure Migrate to choose your assessment and migration tools.
Explore the Azure Migrate tools for discovering and assessing your virtual machine servers. Learn how to install and configure a virtual machine appliance in your virtualization host infrastructure.
Choose an agentless Hyper-V migration approach. Create an Azure Migrate project, enable Microsoft Entra 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.
Learn how to plan an Azure VMware Solution deployment by reviewing the requirements and assessing your migration. Prepare for the VMware resource migration by deploying an Azure VMware Solution private cloud resource. Then, configure Azure ExpressRoute Global Reach to connect your on-premises VMware vSphere environment to the Azure VMware Solution.
Plan, deploy, and configure VMware HCX on-premises with VMware vSphere to connect with Azure VMware Solution. Migrate virtual machines from an on-premises VMware vSphere environment to Azure VMware Solution by using VMware HCX.
