1.Azure Migrate
The simplest and safest method for transferring applications and data to the cloud is lift and shift. Customers beginning their cloud migration journeys favour it because of this.The best Azure migration service resource for lift and shift migrations isAzure Migrate.
2.Azure Data Migration Services
To host your databases,Azure offers a variety of PaaS and IaaS alternatives.TheAzure Data MigrationAssistant (DMA) andAzure Database Migration Service (DMS) support this process by evaluating the current databases, suggesting corrections as needed, and facilitating the migration. Before migrating databases to the intended target forAzure Data Services, the remediations should be undertaken as a requirement.
3. SQLServer MigrationAssistant (SSMA)
Customers utilising various database systems can use SQLServer Migration Assistant (SSMA) to migrate their data to SQLServer orAzure Synapse Analytics. MicrosoftAccess, MySQL, Oracle, SAPASE, and DB2 databases are among the supported source systems. SQLServer IaaS installations with versions starting in 2012 and later up to SQLServer 2019 (on Windows and Linux) orAzure SQLDatabase/Managed Instance are supported by SSMA. Only the SSMAtool for Oracle is capable of supportingAzure Synapse Analytics as a target environment.
4.Azure Synapse Pathway
One of the main obstacles to modernising data warehouses is frequently adapting old SQL code to the needs of the target platform.Thousands of lines of code created over many years can be found in a database, making translation labor- and money-intensive. By automating code translation to make it possible to transfer existing data warehouses toAzure Synapse Analytics,Azure Synapse Pathway helps to address this issue.
Data Definition Language (DDL) and Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements can be automatically translated toT-SQLcompliant language byAzure Synapse Pathway, making it compatible withAzure Synapse SQLas a target for migration.
5.Azure Backup and Site Recovery
Azure Backup is a cloud-based backup tool that can be used to backup data from a variety of sources, including on-premises servers,Azure VMs, managed discs,Azure file shares, and more. By restoring the backup data to the targetAzure environment, you could utilise the service for data transfer needs. For enterprise applications like SQLserver, Exchange, and Sharepoint,Azure Backup includes built-in application consistency.This consistency makes it possible to instal a working environment with the restored data quickly and without incurring any additional costs.
Data replication from on-premises or other cloud environments toAzure is possible withAzure Site Recovery, a cloud-based DR solution.Although the main goal of the service is to makeAzure a DR site for your workloads, it can also be used to replicate workloads and perform a one-time failover of the environments toAzure.The service additionally makes advantage of the application-consistent snapshot-based replication mechanism to guarantee the integrity of applications following failover.
