Azure Migrate in Public Preview
I was browsing the most recent list of Azure offerings in Preview and came across this gem...
Azure Migrate, in Public Preview, is an offering from Microsoft that is intended to help organizations make the move to Azure by providing guidance, insights, and tools to assist with migrating resources to the cloud.
The tool helps companies discover and assess on-premises virtual machines and servers as well as identify dependency mappings that can affect a migration to Azure. It also offers smart rightsizing for Azure virtual machines, which ensures VMs are sized correctly once in the cloud. Azure Migrate also offers reporting with guidelines for remediation of potential issues.
Workload migrations are performed via server replication, which allows for a largely seamless cutover to Azure.
This could certainly be a major catalyst to getting companies into Microsoft Azure.
