AZ-305 · Question 47 · Domain 4.3: Design migrations
You are planning a massive migration of 500 VMware virtual machines from an on-premises datacenter to Azure.
You need to discover the VMs, assess their readiness for Azure, and map the network dependencies between the VMs to group them into migration waves. The security team strictly prohibits installing any agents or software directly on the guest operating systems of the VMs.
Which tool should you use?

Which tool should you use?
Answer options:
A.
Azure Migrate with an agent-based appliance
B.
Azure Migrate with an agentless appliance
C.
Service Map in Azure Monitor
D.
Azure Site Recovery Deployment Planner
How to approach this question
Combine the requirement for 'dependency mapping' with the constraint 'no agents on guest OS'.
Full Answer
B.Azure Migrate with an agentless appliance✓ Correct
Azure Migrate with an agentless appliance
Azure Migrate provides a centralized hub to assess and migrate on-premises servers. For VMware environments, Azure Migrate supports 'agentless dependency analysis'. By deploying the Azure Migrate appliance on-premises, it connects to the vCenter Server and gathers TCP connection data directly from the hypervisor. This allows you to map dependencies and group VMs into migration waves without installing any agents on the guest operating systems.
Common mistakes
Assuming dependency mapping always requires an agent. While true for physical servers or Hyper-V (historically), VMware supports agentless mapping.
