AZ-305 · Question 47 · Domain 4.3: Design migrations

An enterprise is planning to migrate 800 VMware virtual machines to Azure.

Before migrating, the architecture team needs to understand the network dependencies between the VMs to group them into accurate migration waves. They want to collect this dependency data without installing any agents on the guest operating systems of the 800 VMs.

Which Azure Migrate feature should you use?

Answer options:

A.

Agentless dependency analysis

B.

Agent-based dependency analysis

C.

Azure Network Watcher

D.

Azure Monitor Service Map

How to approach this question

Look for the constraints: 'VMware', 'network dependencies', and 'no agents'. Azure Migrate supports agentless dependency mapping specifically for VMware.

Full Answer

A.Agentless dependency analysis✓ Correct
Azure Migrate provides an 'Agentless dependency analysis' feature specifically for VMware VMs. It works by capturing TCP connection data from the ESXi hosts using vSphere APIs. This allows you to map dependencies and group VMs for migration without the massive administrative overhead of installing agents on 800 guest operating systems.

Common mistakes

Choosing Service Map. While Service Map provides excellent dependency mapping, it strictly requires agent installation.
