Overview of this book

From designing solutions on Azure to configuring and managing virtual networks, the AZ-303 certification validates your knowledge and skills for all this and much more. Whether you want to take the certification exam or gain hands-on experience in administering, developing, and architecting Azure solutions, this study guide will help you get started. Divided into four modules, this book systematically takes you through the wide range of concepts and features covered in the AZ-303 exam. The first module demonstrates how to implement and monitor infrastructure. You'll develop the skills required to deploy and manage core Azure components such as virtual machines, networking, storage, and Active Directory (AD). As you progress, you'll build on that knowledge and learn how to create resilient and secure applications before moving on to working with web apps, functions, and containers. The final module will get you up to speed with data platforms such as SQL and Cosmos DB, including how to configure the different high availability options.

Migrating on-premises servers to Azure

In the upcoming demo, we are going to use Azure Migrate to assess a Hyper-V environment and migrate VMs that are deployed inside the Hyper-V environment to Azure. This demo is going to be divided into different steps. The first step is to create an assessment for the on-premises environment. Due to this, we need an Azure Migrate project in the Azure portal.

Creating an Azure Migrate project

Before we can create an assessment in the Azure portal, we need to create an Azure Migrate project. Therefore, we have to perform the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the Azure portal by opening https://portal.azure.com.
  2. Click Create a resource and type Azure Migrate into the search bar.
  3. Click Create.
  4. In the Overview blade, click Assess and migrate servers.
  5. The first step is to add a tool to Azure Migrate. Select Create project.
  6. The Create blade will open. In the Migrate project tab, add the following settings:
