AZ-305 · Question 45 · Domain 4.3: Migrations
You are planning a massive migration of 1,000 VMware virtual machines to Azure.
You need to discover the VMs, assess their readiness for Azure, right-size them based on historical performance data, and map the network dependencies between the VMs to group them into migration waves.
The security team strictly prohibits installing any agents on the guest operating systems of the VMs.
Which tool should you use?

Full Answer
B.Azure Migrate with an agentless appliance✓ Correct
Azure Migrate is the central hub for discovering, assessing, and migrating workloads to Azure. For VMware environments, Azure Migrate provides an 'agentless' appliance. This appliance connects to the vCenter Server to discover VMs, collect performance data for right-sizing, and even perform agentless dependency mapping (by polling TCP connection data from the hypervisor). This perfectly meets the requirement of not installing agents on the guest OS.
Common mistakes
Assuming dependency mapping always requires an agent. Azure Migrate recently introduced agentless dependency mapping specifically for VMware environments.
