A logistics company plans to migrate its legacy dispatching and routing platform to Azure. The on-premises environment consists of 12 physical Windows Server servers and 8 VMware vSphere virtual machines (VMs). The database backend runs on SQL Server 2016 and heavily relies on SQL Server Agent, CLR integration, and cross-database queries. Currently, users authenticate against an on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain.
The company has the following requirements for the migration:
1. Identify all active network connections and dependencies between the application servers to minimize post-migration latency.
2. Recommend an Azure SQL database hosting model that supports all SQL Server 2016 features with minimal management overhead.
3. Integrate the on-premises AD DS with Microsoft Entra ID to allow users to sign in with their existing credentials, while keeping infrastructure complexity and cost to a minimum.
Which of the following migration assessment and strategy designs meets all the requirements?
- Perform dependency analysis using the Azure Migrate appliance to visualize server connections, recommend migrating the databases to Azure SQL Managed Instance, and configure Microsoft Entra Connect with Password Hash Synchronization (PHS).Answer
- BPerform dependency analysis using the Azure Migrate appliance to visualize server connections, recommend migrating the databases to Azure SQL Database elastic pools, and configure Microsoft Entra Connect with Password Hash Synchronization (PHS).
- CPerform dependency analysis using the Azure Migrate appliance to visualize server connections, recommend migrating the databases to Azure SQL Managed Instance, and implement Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) for hybrid identity.
- DRecommend migrating the databases to Azure SQL Managed Instance, configure Microsoft Entra Connect with Password Hash Synchronization (PHS), and defer server dependency assessment until after the migration is complete.
