You must build up infrastructure components on Azure to prepare for your applications to be transferred to Azure. You'll start by creating a Site Recovery vault, which will serve as the starting point for all your ASR adventures. To deploy two IaaS VMs in Azure, the configuration server and master target server, follow the Quick Start Wizard's instructions. To deploy these components on Azure, follow the procedures for setting up protection between on-premises physical servers and Azure.
You'll need to set up an EC2 instance to execute the process server. When deploying the process server, keep the process server sizing guidelines in mind. The process server requires access to the AWS VMs that execute your application, which is why it's best if it's in the same subnet as the VMs you're migrating. To communicate with the process server, the VMs you're migrating must have security group settings that enables inbound connections on TCP and UDP ports 135-139, 445, and 1024-65535. You're ready to continue to the next step once you've completed this step and registered your process server with the settings server.
You can now start exploring your virtual machines on AWS. Create a protection group first, and then use the "add physical machine" method to identify all the EC2 instances you want to transfer to Azure. You may find them using the EC2 instance's private IP address, and you also have the option of giving them a pleasant name that you can refer to later. All the VMs you identified in the previous step will begin to replicate to Azure after this step is completed. Depending on the size of the virtual machines, network capacity, and process server, this could be a lengthy procedure. You're ready to migrate once this initial replication is complete.
This is where you do a one-click failover and transfer your application to Azure. Because these resources are no longer required, make sure to destroy your EC2 instances and stop ASR protection.
