" summary

Walks through using Azure Migrate plus the Azure Data Studio SQL migration extension to discover and assess an entire VMware host, auto-discovering 196 servers (105 with SQL, 34 web servers), running dependency analysis and perfmon collection, and delivering SKU and target recommendations (example: migrate a ready instance to Azure SQL Managed Instance with 4 cores while nine instances are blocked by >100 databases). Demo shows appliance setup, backup-orchestrated restores, and how assessment-driven sizing accelerates migration.
