Welcome to another Azure Content Spotlight! These articles are used to highlight items in Azure that could be more visible to the Azure community.

In this weeks content spotlight, we are going to take a look at Azure Migrate. Azure Migrate provides agentless discovery of VMware-virtualized Windows and Linux virtual machines (VMs). It also supports agent-based discovery. This enables dependency visualization, for a single VM or a group of VMs, to easily identify multi-tier applications.

In addition to Application-centric discovery, Azure Migrate enables quick assessments that help answer the following questions:

  • Readiness: Is a VM suitable for running in Azure?

  • Sizing: What is the right Azure VM size based on the utilization history of CPU, memory, disk (throughput and IOPS), and network?

  • Costs: How much is the recurring Azure cost considering discounts like Azure Hybrid Benefit ?


Besides the above features, Azure Migrate offers much more! You can read the full article here.



To get started creating an Azure migration project, navigate to the Azure Portal.

Here you can find the documentation on Azure Migrate.
