Azure Migrate is a service provided by Microsoft Azure that helps organizations to migrate their workloads to the cloud. It provides a unified hub for discovering, assessing, and migrating applications, infrastructure, and data to the cloud. The service offers a range of assessment tools, including Azure Migrate Server Assessment and Azure Migrate Database Assessment, that provides a detailed analysis of the on-premises environment, making it easier to determine which workloads are suitable for migration to Azure.
