Assess and Migrate Hyper-V VMs to Azure using Azure Migrate
Today, the Azure Migrate team launched an update to the Azure Migrate service, which can help you discover, assess, and migrate applications, infrastructure, and data from your on-prem environment to Microsoft Azure. This is excellent timing since we all know that Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are soon out of support and you get free extended security updates if you migrate your VMs to Azure. With Azure Migrate, you can now centrally track the progress of your migration journey across multiple thrid-party and Microsoft tools. In this post, I am going to show you how you can step-by-step assess and migrate Hyper-V VMs to Azure using Azure Migrate.

Replicate workload from VMWare to Azure using Azure Site Recovery(ASR)
Hello, I am working on a project to replicate worklooad hosted on a VMWare to Azure Site Recovery for disaster recovery purpose. Current Environment: More than 80 VMs hosted on VMWare managed by VMWare Sphere running both Linux and Windows OS.. Databases: Oracle DB, Microsoft SQL and MySQL Requirements: seamless failover and disaster recovery requirements. scalable setup No down-time integrate identity and access mgt. integration with Microsoft Entra ID. RTO < 2 hrs and RPO > 15 minutes Backup: critical database backup every 3 hours App servers: Daily*incremental) and weekly (full) Transaction Logs: every 10 mins backup config. should be Daily Questions I have confirmed ASR supports fail back from Azure- on premise(VMWare specifically). Hence ASR(Azure site recovery) will be used for the project. However, what is the seamless method to replicate the databases(Oracle, Microsoft SQL and MySQL). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/vmware-azure-failback What is the best approach to replicate the Application Servers? integrating existing on-premise 3rd party network security tool for firewall etc instead of the azure cloud native security tool. recommendation?? cost optimization techniques/recommendations Best practices for conducting non-destructive DR drills.
