Difficulty: MediumMigration Assessment and Strategy

An enterprise plans to migrate an on-premises multi-tier application to Azure. The application consists of 15 physical Linux (RHEL) servers running web and application services, and a backend PostgreSQL database cluster running on two physical Linux servers. The database architecture relies on cross-database queries.

You need to design a migration assessment and identity transition strategy that meets the following requirements:
- Discovers the servers and maps network connections between them to identify dependencies.
- Recommends the appropriate Azure target service for the database.
- Syncs on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) user accounts to Microsoft Entra ID with the least administrative complexity.

Which two actions should you include in the assessment and transition strategy? (Choose two.)

  1. Deploy the Azure Migrate appliance on an on-premises server to discover the servers and perform agentless dependency analysis.Answer
  2. Configure Microsoft Entra Connect with Password Hash Synchronization (PHS) to sync on-premises user accounts.Answer
  3. C
    Deploy Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) on-premises to federate authentication with Microsoft Entra ID.
  4. D
    Recommend Azure SQL Database Single Database as the target database tier to host the PostgreSQL database.
  5. E
    Group the servers into migration batches based on naming conventions and bypass dependency mapping to minimize assessment duration.

Answer

Deploy the Azure Migrate appliance on-premises to discover servers and perform agentless dependency analysis, and configure Microsoft Entra Connect with Password Hash Synchronization (PHS) to sync user accounts.
Deploying the Azure Migrate appliance on-premises enables the discovery of physical Linux servers and maps their network connections agentlessly to identify server dependencies. To synchronize on-premises Active Directory accounts with the least administrative complexity, Microsoft Entra Connect with Password Hash Synchronization (PHS) is the ideal solution as it does not require additional on-premises identity federation infrastructure.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Select the dependency analysis method
Implement the Azure Migrate appliance to perform agentless dependency analysis on the physical Linux servers.
Allows mapping of network connections between physical servers to create accurate migration groups without installing agents.
2
Select the identity sync mechanism
Choose Microsoft Entra Connect with Password Hash Synchronization (PHS).
Provides the lowest administrative overhead and complexity for syncing hybrid identities compared to federated options.

Key Concept

Selecting appropriate migration discovery and dependency tools alongside a low-overhead hybrid identity sync mechanism.
