Hi Brian H,
When migrating your on-prem VMware environment to Azure, there are several considerations to keep in mind to ensure a smooth transition,
Assessment and Planning: Since you have already started using the Azure Migration Assessment tool, continue to evaluate the readiness of your servers for migration. This tool will help you identify any dependencies and potential issues that may arise during the migration process.
Network Configuration: Setting up an Azure Virtual Network (VNet), subnets, and security groups is crucial. Ensure that your network design accommodates your current and future needs, including secure access to your Azure resources.
Data Storage Choices: As you plan to move your archive data to Azure Blob Storage, consider the access frequency to determine whether to use cool or cold storage. This will help optimize costs based on your usage patterns.
Security and Compliance: Ensure that your security groups are configured correctly to protect your resources. Regularly review Azure's security best practices to maintain compliance and security.
Backup and Recovery: Implement a backup strategy for your Azure resources to protect against data loss. Azure offers various backup solutions that can be integrated into your migration plan.
Minimal Server Needs: Since you mentioned needing only a few servers for FTP services and file storage, ensure that you right-size your Azure resources to avoid over-provisioning and unnecessary costs.
Monitoring and Management: After migration, set up monitoring tools to keep track of performance and costs. Azure provides various services to help you manage and optimize your resources post-migration.
Documentation and Support: Keep thorough documentation of your migration plan and configurations. Consider reaching out to Azure support or consulting services if you encounter challenges during the migration.
By addressing these areas, you can mitigate risks and ensure a successful migration to Azure.
