Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question
Contoso plans to move 40 on-premises Windows and Linux virtual machines that run on VMware vSphere to Azure. Before choosing target sizes, you must gather 30 days of CPU and memory utilization, estimate monthly Azure compute costs, and map TCP dependencies between the virtual machines to plan a phased migration. You want to achieve this with a single Microsoft-provided solution and minimal manual effort. Which action should you take first?
Install the Azure Monitor agent on every virtual machine and use Azure Monitor to collect metrics and dependency maps
Run the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit to generate a server capacity and dependency report
Install the Azure Site Recovery mobility service to replicate the virtual machines and analyze the replication reports
Deploy the Azure Migrate appliance and create a Discovery and assessment project with agentless dependency visualization
Azure Migrate: Discovery and assessment is designed for the pre-migration evaluation of on-premises servers. Deploying the Azure Migrate appliance enables agentless discovery of VMware VMs, collection of historical performance data, generation of right-sizing and cost estimates for Azure virtual machines, and built-in network dependency visualization.
Azure Monitor with the Azure Monitor Agent can collect performance counters and, with the Service Map solution, show dependencies, but it does not automatically create right-sizing or cost assessment reports, so you would still need another tool. The Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit is a legacy, no-longer-updated, on-premises tool that lacks native Azure cost calculations and requires additional steps to discover network dependencies. The Azure Site Recovery mobility service is used for replication and failover testing, not for pre-migration assessment or cost estimation. Therefore, deploying the Azure Migrate appliance and creating a discovery and assessment project is the correct first step.
