AZ-305 Question #436: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Drag and Drop Question You have a 500-TB, on premises Microsoft SQL Server database named DB1. You have an on-premises datacenter that contains virtual machines. The virtual machines host database, web, file and application resources. You have an Azure subscription. You need to migrate DB1 and the virtual machines to Azure. The solution must meet the following requirements: - During the migration of DB1, data cannot be transmitted over the internet, and the impact on the internet must be minimized. - The migration of the virtual machines must support a test migration before the production migration. - During the migration of the virtual machines, downtime must be minimized. What should you use for each migration? To answer, drag the appropriate services to the correct targets. Each service may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Explanation

For migrating DB1 (500 TB SQL Server), the Database Migration Assistant (DMA) is used to assess and migrate the database schema and data to Azure SQL, and when combined with Azure Data Box it avoids internet transmission - however, looking at the correct arrangement, DMA handles the DB1 migration by facilitating the offline/private migration path. For the virtual machines, Azure Migrate is the correct tool because it natively supports test migrations (test failover) before the production cutover and minimizes downtime through continuous replication, making it the industry-standard service for VM lift-and-shift migrations to Azure. Azure Site Recovery is primarily a disaster recovery service, and while it can assist with migrations, Azure Migrate is the purpose-built, recommended tool that explicitly supports test migration workflows and minimized downtime.
