This project i performed recently and it was fun. When i was talking to customer and they explained they have to migrate 165 VM's to Azure and these are app servers for various applications and i was like wow seems like a decent project to work with and during the scoping calls and assessment it become so easy.
Essence of the story my customer confirmed we only need to migrate 9 VM's and we can make clones latter in Azure as these VM's are running static website and nothing is going to change so no need to migrate all the machines but do only 9 VM's & latter clone them to match the count of 165 and he gave me the each VM count for clone. So as things changed so did the approach.
Plan -
.
After go ahead -
It was a successful migration as i only wanted to focus on steps we took to-migrate static website and how we crested clones VM's from images and it worked. Sometimes its just the approach and assessment makes it very easy.

Plan -
- We replicated all 9 VM with ASR.
- AD was already extended as they were already operating in hybrid environment.
- On all the 9 VM's we logged in and remove from domain and changed the name.
- Provided details to customer for UAT
.
After go ahead -
- Sysprep the VM's
- Capture the Image
- Created no. of VM required for each image.
