Question

Hotspot Question You have an on-premises app named App1 that uses the Hyper-V virtual machines shown in the following table. You plan to migrate App1 to Azure. You need to recommend which services to use for the migrations. The solution must meet the following requirements: - share1 must be migrated to a premium Azure Files share. - SQL1 must be migrated to an Azure SQL managed instance. - The migrations must be completed with minimal downtime and zero data loss. - VM1 must be migrated to an Azure virtual machine. A sizing assessment must be completed before the migration. What should you recommend for each virtual machine? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of Azure Migrate tools and services used to migrate different workload types (file shares, SQL databases, and VMs) with minimal downtime and zero data loss.

Approach. For share1 (a file share on a Hyper-V VM), you should use Azure Migrate: Server Migration to migrate the VM hosting the share, then use Azure File Sync or Azure Storage Mover to migrate the file share content to a premium Azure Files share. For SQL1, you should use Azure Database Migration Service (DMS) in online mode to migrate to Azure SQL Managed Instance - DMS supports online migration with minimal downtime and zero data loss via log shipping/CDC. For VM1, you should use Azure Migrate: Server Assessment to complete a sizing assessment before migration, and then use Azure Migrate: Server Migration (which leverages Azure Site Recovery replication) to lift-and-shift the VM to Azure with minimal downtime. The key distinction is that SQL1 requires DMS for database-aware migration, VM1 requires Azure Migrate (Server Assessment + Server Migration), and share1 requires a file-share-specific migration approach targeting premium Azure Files.

Concept tested. Understanding which Azure Migrate tools and services are appropriate for specific workload types: Azure Migrate: Server Assessment for pre-migration sizing, Azure Migrate: Server Migration for Hyper-V VMs, and Azure Database Migration Service (DMS) for SQL workloads migrating to Azure SQL Managed Instance with minimal downtime and zero data loss.
