Migration

 

Prepare a machine for the replication appliance

The Migration and modernization tool uses a replication appliance to replicate machines to Azure. The replication appliance runs the following components.

  • Configuration server: The configuration server coordinates communications between on-premises and Azure, and manages data replication.
  • Process server: The process server acts as a replication gateway. It receives replication data; optimizes it with caching, compression, and encryption, and sends it to a cache storage account in Azure.

Run a test migration

When delta replication begins, you can run a test migration for the VMs, before running a full migration to Azure. We highly recommend that you do this at least once for each machine, before you migrate it.

  • Running a test migration checks that migration will work as expected, without impacting the on-premises machines, which remain operational, and continue replicating.
  • Test migration simulates the migration by creating an Azure VM using replicated data (usually migrating to a non-production VNet in your Azure subscription).
  • You can use the replicated test Azure VM to validate the migration, perform app testing, and address any issues before full migration.

Landing Zone

What is Azure landing zone   An Azure Landing Zone is a set of best practices and guidelines provided by Microsoft to help organizations establish a well-structured and standardized foundation for deploying workloads and applications in the Microsoft Azure cloud environment. It is essentially a framework that assists organizations in setting up their Azure environment with a focus on key areas such as security, governance, compliance, and operational efficiency. Here are the main aspects and objectives of an Azure Landing Zone: 1. ** Security **: Implementing robust security measures to protect data and resources in Azure, including network security, identity and access management, and compliance with security standards. 2. ** Governance **: Defining and enforcing policies and standards for resource provisioning, naming conventions, and compliance requirements. This ensures that Azure resources are created and managed consistently across the organization. 3. ** Networking **: ...
