Congratulations, you've reached the end of migrating servers to Azure. Let's review what you've learned. We kicked things off with an introduction to Azure Migrate where you learned what the Azure Migrate offering is. We then got into the various Azure Migrate Integrations that are available.
After learning about the different Azure Migrate Integrations, you learned about some of the key Azure Migrate features that are available to you. We wrapped up the first part of the course by covering the Azure Migrate Assessment tool and the Azure Migrate Server Migration tool.
As we moved through the course, you learned about assessing and migrating VMware virtual machines, Hyper-V Machines, and even physical machines. We covered many of the details of assessment and migration of VMware virtual machines to Microsoft Azure using Azure Migrate. We covered the setup and preparation of both Azure and VMware for Azure Migrate before getting into the details of actually migrating using the Azure Migrate tool.
We then completed an assessment and migration of a VMware virtual machine to Microsoft Azure. So now that you've worked through the process with me you should have a good understanding of the Azure Migrate service and the different options available for using it to migrate servers to Microsoft Azure.
