Azure Migrate is a free service that helps discover, evaluate and migrate applications, infrastructure and data from local environments to Azure.
Azure Migrate is a free service that was developed by Microsoft to reduce the cost and complexity of the migration process. It includes tools for every scenario, available at no additional license fee:
Discover and evaluate: Azure Migrate offers a hub of tools to help you plan your migration. Use Azure Migrate to perform a complete assessment, discover the machines and applications in your environment and understand how they interact with each other. This lets you avoid surprises by answering critical questions such as:
Migrate: After assessing your workloads, you can easily perform small or large scale migrations and track progress. Once the migration is complete, you can review the migration data collected to verify that all identified workloads have been integrated into Azure and are operational.
If needed, you can add a set of third-party tools to provide more options. These tools integrate into Azure Migrate and are not free. The most common ones are:
Cloudamize: Evaluation of workloads performed on other public clouds.
Corent: Evaluation and migration of workloads performed on other public clouds
