Question

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. Your company has an on-premises Hyper-V cluster that contains 20 virtual machines. Some of the virtual machines are based on Windows and some in Linux. You have to migrate the virtual machines onto Azure. You have to recommend a solution that would be used to replicate the disks of the virtual machines to Azure. The solution needs to ensure that the virtual machines remain available when the migration of the disks is in progress. Solution: You decide to create an Azure storage account and then run AzCopy. Would this fulfill the requirement?

Why each option

A solution to migrate Hyper-V virtual machines to Azure by replicating their disks must support continuous replication and minimize downtime, which generic file copy methods or non-migration-specific tools cannot reliably ensure.

AYes

Not applicable, as the stated (but cut-off) solution does not meet the requirements for replicating virtual machine disks for migration.

BNoCorrect

The implied solution is inadequate because a proper migration from Hyper-V to Azure requires a service like Azure Migrate or Azure Site Recovery that offers continuous replication and orchestration to ensure minimal downtime and consistent state, which direct VHD copy or similar methods lack.
