- Database Migration Assistant (DMA)
- Azure Migrate
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.
