How to migrate VMware VMs to Azure IaaS

Azure Migrate is your resource to help migrate your on-premises datacenter to Azure.
Using Microsoft or third party tools, it discovers, assesses, and migrates your on-premises applications and virtual machines in VMware or Windows Server Hyper-V.
In this tutorial, Jeff Woolsey, engineer in the cloud hybrid team, walks you step-by-step through the prerequisites, Azure Migrate setup, configuring the Azure Migrate appliance VM in VMware, discovering and assessing on-premises applications with dependencies, replicating your VMs to Azure storage, then testing and migrating into production. Jeff guides you through the agentless approach in Azure Migrate using Microsoft's assessment and migration tools.

No, it's NOT just a "quick overview" of the VM migration process, like you said at the end, sir. It is one of the most detailed, precise and well-delivered video on Azure Migrate I have seen till now. Thank you!

[@sudeepmanandhar1971]

Nicely explained Jeff, liked the granular details

[@jeyganeshnagarethinam109]

Excellent Video and nicely explained

wonderful information.

Excellent Video

[@MSFTMechanics]

Thank you very much!

[@georgeadis]

Greetings, excellent tutorials, please mount a video explaining a Migration of a Physical server

[@MSFTMechanics]

That's also an option. In the first step when getting the discovery appliance, you can select a third option to download and run a script on a Windows Server (physical or virtual). It also works for migrating from other IaaS clouds. The rest is the same.

[@d00shan82]

Is it necessary for replicated VMs to have internet access during the process or it's just OVA appliance who needs internet access? And what about migrating through existing ExpressRoute private peering with private endpoint?

[@MSFTMechanics]

No, just the ova appliance needs to be able to log discovered info back to the Azure migrate service.

[@sonujalwal4768]

nice session, what IPs VMs will get after migrating to Azure ? client or users must access the vm with same IP, how can we acheive that ?

[@omarelhamy5709]

What about the networks can we extend the on-premise network to azure

[@MSFTMechanics]

Yes, there are a few ways to do this using virtual networks, VPN, and Express Route. Check out: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/reference-architectures/hybrid-networking/

[@santhoshshetty3900]

do we need ASR still ?IS Azure migration tool and ASR integrated now?

[@MSFTMechanics]

You don’t need ASR for migration. Azure Migrate now incorporates that functionality for replication and cutover.

[@umzyin]

I can make out that behind the scene it is still using ASR? I presume that appliance will create Azure Site Recovery behind the scene? Any ways great improvement!

[@MSFTMechanics]

It's using a lot of the underlying ASR components for the actual backup and migration, but no longer needs to expose that in the context of a migration project.

[@RicardoJosue]

Can I Migrate a VM linux VMWare to Azure using this methodology?

[@MSFTMechanics]

Yes, the VM inventory, replication and migration process is identical.
