AZ-305 · Question 49 · Domain 4.3: Design Migrations

You are planning the migration of 200 on-premises VMware virtual machines to Azure.

You need to group the VMs into 'migration waves'. To do this accurately, you must understand which VMs communicate with each other so you don't migrate a web server without its corresponding database server. You want to gather this data automatically over a 30-day period.

Which Azure Migrate feature should you use?

Answer options:

A.

Azure Migrate: Discovery and assessment

B.

Dependency analysis (agentless)

C.

Azure Monitor Network Insights

D.

Azure Site Recovery Deployment Planner

How to approach this question

Keywords: 'understand which VMs communicate', 'migration waves'. This requires mapping network dependencies.

Full Answer

B.Dependency analysis (agentless)✓ Correct
Dependency analysis in Azure Migrate helps you identify dependencies across discovered on-premises servers. It maps the network connections (ports and IPs) between servers. This is critical for planning migration waves, ensuring that interdependent servers (like a web tier and a database tier) are migrated together to avoid latency or broken applications.

Common mistakes

Thinking basic Discovery is enough. Discovery finds the hardware specs; Dependency Analysis finds the network relationships.
