    AZ-900 · Question 12 · Domain 2.2: Azure Compute Services

    Which Azure compute service is best suited for a 'lift and shift' migration of an existing on-premises server to the cloud?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Azure App Service

    B.

    Azure Functions

    C.

    Azure Virtual Machines

    D.

    Azure Container Instances

    How to approach this question

    Identify the IaaS compute service that mimics physical servers.

    Full Answer

    C.Azure Virtual Machines✓ Correct
    Azure Virtual Machines provide Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and can be used in a variety of ways. They are the most common choice for 'lift and shift' migrations because they don't require application code changes.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing App Service because it hosts web apps, forgetting that 'lift and shift' implies moving the whole OS environment.
