Zorluk: OrtaMigration Assessment and Strategy

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?

  1. 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).Cevap
  2. B
    Perform 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).
  3. C
    Perform 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.
  4. D
    Recommend 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.

Cevap

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).
The correct option is the one that recommends using the Azure Migrate appliance for dependency mapping, migrating to Azure SQL Managed Instance, and configuring Microsoft Entra Connect with Password Hash Synchronization (PHS). Azure SQL Managed Instance is the only fully managed relational database service in Azure that provides near 100% compatibility with on-premises SQL Server databases, supporting features like CLR, SQL Server Agent, and cross-database queries. Password Hash Synchronization (PHS) provides a simple and low-cost solution for hybrid identity compared to AD FS. Using the Azure Migrate appliance for dependency analysis before migrating ensures that all dependent servers are grouped together, preventing network latency or connectivity problems.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the database tier requirements.
Since the legacy SQL Server databases require SQL Server Agent, CLR integration, and cross-database queries, Azure SQL Managed Instance must be selected instead of Azure SQL Database, which does not support these features natively.
Choosing the correct SQL hosting option ensures application compatibility while keeping management overhead low compared to running SQL Server on Azure VMs.
2
Determine the identity synchronization method.
Password Hash Synchronization (PHS) is selected.
PHS allows users to authenticate using their on-premises credentials with minimal complexity and cost, avoiding the deployment of high-overhead Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) servers.
3
Select the dependency assessment approach.
Perform dependency analysis using the Azure Migrate appliance before the migration starts.
Identifying dependencies beforehand ensures that interconnected servers are grouped into the same migration wave, avoiding network performance and latency issues.
