Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question
You are planning the assessment phase for migrating 450 VMware vSphere virtual machines from an on-premises datacenter to Microsoft Azure. The migration plan must discover all virtual machines without installing software inside each guest, collect 30 days of performance data to recommend right-sized target SKUs, map inter-VM network dependencies without requiring in-guest agents, and produce a total cost of ownership (TCO) comparison between the current environment and Azure. Which on-premises component should you deploy first to satisfy all these requirements?
Install the Azure Site Recovery Mobility service on each virtual machine
Onboard the servers to Azure Arc and install the Azure Monitor Dependency agent
Deploy the Azure Migrate appliance configured for Discovery and Assessment
Run the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit
The Azure Migrate appliance performs agentless discovery of VMware vSphere inventories, streams performance counters for up to 30 days to build right-sizing recommendations, and supports agentless network dependency mapping by querying vCenter for traffic flows. When the collected data is uploaded to the Azure Migrate project, the service can generate readiness reports and TCO comparisons. The other options either require installing an agent on every VM (Site Recovery Mobility service), are deprecated and lack Azure-specific sizing (MAP Toolkit), or provide dependency data without integrated cost and sizing assessments (Azure Arc with dependency agent).
