Agentless dependency analysis feature helps in visualizing the dependencies between your servers and can be used to determine servers that should be migrated together.

A single Azure Migrate appliance can discover up to 10,000 VMware VMs and perform software inventory across all of them.Azure Migrate uses the vSphere APIs to execute a list of queries and pull the required data once every 12 hours.The software inventory is gathered by connecting to the servers through vCenter Server using the VM guest interface. The vCenter Server account needs privileges enabled for Virtual Machines > Guest Operations, to interact with the servers.Software inventory is completely agentless and does not require installing any agents on the servers.Using the credentials provided, the appliance gathers information on the installed applications, enabled roles and features on the on-premises Windows and Linux servers running in your VMware environment.As servers start getting discovered, you can view them in the Azure Portal.The credentials provided on the appliance are encrypted and stored on the appliance server locally and are never sent to Microsoft. Enable software inventory by providing server credentials on the appliance and start discovery. The appliance lets you enter multiple credentials and will automatically map each server to the appropriate credential.Deploy and configure the Azure Migrate appliance for VMware.To get started, create a new Azure Migrate project or use an existing one.Today, we are announcing the General Availability of at-scale, software inventory and agentless dependency analysis for VMware virtual machines. Agentless dependency analysis helps you analyze the dependencies between the discovered servers which can be easily visualized with a map view in Azure Migrate project and can be used to group related servers for migration to Azure. Software inventory can also help discover specific workloads such as SQL Server instances and databases and IIS web applications (preview) running on the servers.

Software inventory provides the list of applications, roles and features running on Windows and Linux servers, discovered using Azure Migrate. Azure Migrate aims at helping customers build a high-confidence migration plan with features like software inventory and agentless dependency analysis. This results not only in leaving behind dependent servers causing the application to break, but also adds up to the migration cost that the customers want to reduce. Customers are often challenged with the problem of unknown where they may not have complete visibility of applications running on their servers or the dependencies between them, as they start planning their migration to cloud.
Migrating a large & complex IT environment from on-premises to the cloud can be quite daunting. Authored by Vikram Bansal, PM, Azure Migrate
