Question

Difficulty: MediumMigration Assessment and Strategy

You are designing a migration strategy to Azure for an on-premises application that runs on five physical servers hosting a custom web portal and an Oracle database. You need to use Azure Migrate to evaluate the workloads, discover dependencies, and recommend appropriate Azure target resources. Which two actions should you include in the migration assessment design? (Choose two.)

  1. Deploy the Azure Migrate appliance in the on-premises environment to discover metadata and performance data from the physical servers.Answer
  2. Configure credentials on the Azure Migrate appliance to allow agentless discovery of dependencies and software inventory on the physical servers.Answer
  3. C
    Establish Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) on the identity servers to facilitate hybrid identity sync for the assessment.
  4. D
    Map the Oracle database to Azure SQL Database single database as the target migration tier without performing a feature compatibility assessment.
  5. E
    Plan the migration phases without performing dependency analysis to accelerate the transition timeline.

Answer

To design the migration assessment, you must deploy the Azure Migrate appliance on-premises to discover server metadata and configure server credentials on the appliance to perform agentless dependency analysis.
The correct actions focus on establishing the primary discovery mechanism and gathering communication patterns. Deploying the Azure Migrate appliance allows discovery of metadata and performance data. Configuring the correct credentials on the appliance is mandatory for executing commands that retrieve connection data, allowing agentless dependency analysis.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Plan the deployment of the Azure Migrate appliance.
The appliance is set up on-premises, enabling the collection of performance metadata and software inventory from the physical servers.
Discovery of server metadata is required to evaluate Azure readiness and calculate estimated cloud sizing and costs.
2
Configure the necessary credentials on the Azure Migrate appliance for target physical servers.
The appliance receives permissions to query connection tables and running processes on the physical servers.
This allows agentless dependency mapping, allowing you to identify which servers communicate with each other so you can plan migration waves.
