An organization plans to migrate an on-premises application suite to Azure. The workloads run on Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs). The application backend consists of a SQL Server instance that relies on SQL Server Agent jobs for daily maintenance tasks and requires cross-database queries. To plan the migration, you need to map network dependencies between the application and database VMs. The security team prohibits installing any new software, agents, or management utilities on the guest VMs during assessment, but they can provide local administrator credentials for guest OS analysis. Which combination of Azure SQL deployment option and Azure Migrate dependency mapping method should you recommend?
- Azure SQL Managed Instance for the database, and agentless dependency analysis using the Azure Migrate appliance.Cevap
- BAzure SQL Database elastic pools for the database, and agentless dependency analysis using the Azure Migrate appliance.
- CAzure SQL Database single database for the database, and agent-based dependency analysis using Log Analytics and Dependency agents.
- DAzure SQL Managed Instance for the database, and agent-based dependency analysis using Log Analytics and Dependency agents.
Cevap
Azure SQL Managed Instance for the database, and agentless dependency analysis using the Azure Migrate appliance.
The correct recommendation is Azure SQL Managed Instance combined with agentless dependency analysis. Azure SQL Managed Instance provides full SQL Server engine compatibility, supporting cross-database queries and SQL Server Agent jobs out of the box. For Hyper-V workloads, Azure Migrate agentless dependency mapping leverages the Azure Migrate appliance to connect to the VMs using local administrator credentials to gather dependency data without installing any management agents or software on the guest operating systems.

Anahtar Kavram
Selecting the appropriate Azure SQL deployment option based on legacy features (SQL Server Agent and cross-database queries) and configuring agentless dependency analysis to satisfy guest VM security limitations.
