Difficulty: EasyMigration Assessment and Strategy

An organization is planning to migrate their on-premises VMware vSphere virtual machines (VMs) to Azure using Azure Migrate. Before scheduling the migration, they want to analyze the network connections and dependencies between their servers to ensure no critical connections are broken. Which two methods can they use to perform dependency analysis in Azure Migrate? (Choose two.)

  1. Perform agentless dependency analysis by using the Azure Migrate appliance to collect TCP connection data.Answer
  2. Perform agent-based dependency analysis by installing the Dependency agent and the Log Analytics agent on each VM.Answer
  3. C
    Schedule migration phases immediately without dependency analysis, assuming all legacy applications are self-contained.
  4. D
    Configure Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) on the source servers to monitor real-time network traffic patterns.
  5. E
    Provision an Azure SQL Database single database instance to capture and catalog incoming server-to-server connection attempts.

Answer

The two valid methods are agentless dependency analysis using the Azure Migrate appliance and agent-based dependency analysis using agents installed on each VM.
Azure Migrate provides two primary methods for dependency mapping: agentless analysis, which requires no software installation on the VMs, and agent-based analysis, which uses the Log Analytics agent and Dependency agent to gather granular process-level connection data.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the migration discovery and assessment options in Azure Migrate.
Identify that Azure Migrate provides two distinct modes for assessing virtual machine network dependencies: agentless and agent-based.
Understanding the options allows you to align the assessment strategy with the organization's security and deployment guidelines.
2
Evaluate the agentless option.
The agentless method relies on the Azure Migrate appliance to query vCenter Server APIs and collect network metadata.
This configuration avoids the administrative overhead of managing agent installations on target VMs.
3
Evaluate the agent-based option.
The agent-based method requires installing the Log Analytics agent and the Dependency agent on target systems.
This is chosen when deeper process-level detail is needed or when hypervisor-level metadata collection is restricted.
