The solution leverages two workflows. First, by using Azure Migrate to migrate and convert the VM(s) to Azure including the VM’s boot volume. Second, Everpure array-based replication will be replicating the data volumes from FlashArray to Everpure Cloud Dedicated. Data volume replication requires the VM(s) volume to be in a vVol or RDM datastore. the replicated data volume can be presented to the newly created Azure VM via in-guest iSCSi.
This document can be used as a playbook for lift-and-shift migration scenarios to Azure.
