Re-hosting (Lift and shift )SharePoint 2016 on Premise Environment to Azure
we have an existing SharePoint 2016 on-premise environment having HA as backend SQL server 2016 always on failover cluster. two web servers, two application servers, and 1 office web app server. All servers are virtuals. The requirement is to rehost the complete environment in azure. I mean they want to complete lift and shift the environment from on-premise to Azure. The first question is possible? if yes what is recommended way to do that The plan is to use a standard azure migration tool to copying the VMs. I want to understand, is there are any guidelines to do the same. Need to know if there will be any impact on SharePoint Farm. I heard that it is complex to reshoot the SQL server 2016 always-on cluster in azure. There is the possibility to use Microsoft SQL Managed service. In that case, the instance name of the hosted database will change (as per my understanding). In that case, changing the instance detail from cliconfig.exe from all SharePoint server, will it help. Please advice.
