>> Hello and welcome. My name is Abhishek Hemrajani.
In this video, I'm going to show you how to
get started with Azure Migrate.
Azure Migrate is now a hub for all your migration needs and tools.
Before we see it in action,
let's learn about Azure Migrate and its new features.
Azure Migrate provides you
a guided experience for the most common migration scenarios.
In this video specifically,
I'll show you how to get started with
migrating servers, databases, and more.
You get feature-based grouping of popular Microsoft and ISV tools,
which means you have the choice of tools for
every phase of a migration process.
Finally, with an integrated new experience
and end-to-end tracking,
you get a consistent view of your datacenter assets
as you migrate them over to Azure. Let's get started.
So here I am on the Azure portal.
Once you browse to the Azure Migrate experience,
you'll find that the overview provides you
a few key migration scenarios to help you get started.
You'll find curated scenarios for
migrating servers, migrating databases,
migrating web apps to Azure,
or migrating your On-premises data in
large volumes to Azure using Azure Data Box.
In this video, let's go ahead and get
started with my migrating servers.
So I'm going to click on "Assess and migrate servers".
As a first step in migrating servers to Azure,
I need to select the tools that I'm going to use to perform
the different phases of the server migration process.
So I go ahead and select "Add tools".
Since this is the first time I'm using Azure Migrate,
I get the option of creating a new Azure Migrate project.
Azure Microsoft project is
a metadata repository which allows you to place
your discovery assessment migration
and tracking related metadata in a centralized place.
You have the option of placing it in a geography,
a subscription, and resource group of your choice.
I'm going to go ahead and create
a new resource group in my demo subscription.
I'm going to call it ContosoProject,
and I'll also go ahead and give my migration project a name.
I'm going to call it ContosoProject.
For geography, I'm going to select Europe.
Note, that you can migrate to any Azure Datacenter
of your choice using a project located in any geography.
I click on "Next".
I now get presented with options of Microsoft and ISV tools
that I can use to perform the discovery
and assessment phase of the migration process.
I can choose to use the Azure Migrate
inbuilt server assessment capability which lets you
migrate VMware and Hyper-V Virtual Machines at scale to Azure,
or use a feature or capability from one of
our ISP partners who've already integrated with Azure Migrate.
Some of the partners in the listing are Cloudamize,
Corent Tech, Turbonomic, UnifyCloud, and Device42.
In the coming months,
this list of ISP partners will expand further.
For this process, let's go ahead and select server assessment.
Then just like I did for the discovery and assessment phase,
I also get an option of selecting between the Microsoft
or ISV tools for
the actual phase of performing migrations to Azure.
I can choose the inbuilt Azure server migration capability
which lets you migrate VMware,
Hyper-V, physical servers,
or migrate VMs from other Clouds to Azure.
Note, that for VMware we now also
support agentless migrations to Azure,
or I can choose one of
the integrated partners such as Carbonite or Corent Tech.
For now I'm going to select Server Migration and click on "Next".
On this screen, I get to review my options.
Now that I'm satisfied with my selection,
I click on "Add tools" and I'll be
able to start migrating my servers to Azure.
You'll see that a new Azure Migrate project named
ContosoProject is going to get created in my demo subscription.
I'll be able to go to the project and start making
progress with my selected tools. All right.
It took maybe a few minutes and my project is created,
and just as I had selected the
Azure Migrate Server Assessment and
Azure Migrate Server Migration tools have been
added to my migration journey
where I'm going to use these tools to
migrate servers from VMware and Hyper-V environments to Azure.
Now in one of my upcoming videos,
I'll show you the process of performing assessments and migrations
with Azure Migrate Server Assessment
and Azure Migrate Server Migration.
You'll be able to see how all of the information is going to get
presented and tracked in
one central place which is the Azure Migrate experience.
You'll also see the benefit of
the end-to-end experiences that we've
created for the migration process.
This would have worked exactly the same if I had selected
an ISV tool for the assessment and the migration phase.
For example, if I had selected Cloudamize to perform
my assessments and Carbonite to perform my migration,
on this screen, you would see tools
representing Cloudamize and Carbonite.
Just as we did for server migration,
we could have followed this exact same process
for database migration.
You will see that you have inbuilt capabilities for
database assessment and database migration in Azure Migrate.
All right everyone, that's it from me in this video.
But before we wrap up, let's recap.
We saw how to create the new Azure Migrate project.
Azure Migrate is now hub for all your migration needs and tools.
We saw the guided experience for servers which
would have worked the same if you wanted to migrate databases.
We also saw the feature-based grouping of
Microsoft and ISV tools and how
you can select the tool that works
best for you for your migration scenario.
In the upcoming videos, I'll show you the benefits of
the integrated experiences with end-to-end tracking.
Thank you and keep watching.
