You have an on-premises Hyper-V clusters that hosts 20 virtual machines. Some virtual machines run Windows Server 2016 and some run Linux.
You plan to migrate the virtual machines to an Azure subscription.
You need to recommend a solution to replicate the disks of the virtual machines to Azure. The solution must ensure that the virtual machines remain available during the migration of the disks.
Solution: You recommend implementing an Azure Storage account that has a file service and a blob service, and then using the Data Migration Assistant.
Does this meet the goal?

A. B.B
Data Migration Assistant is used to migrate SQL databases.
Instead use Azure Site Recovery.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/site-recovery-overviewNo, the solution proposed does not meet the stated goal.
The proposed solution recommends using an Azure Storage account that has both file and blob services to replicate the disks of the virtual machines to Azure. However, the solution does not specify how the virtual machines will remain available during the migration of the disks. The Data Migration Assistant tool, which is mentioned in the solution, is not intended to provide continuous availability of the virtual machines during the migration process.
To ensure that the virtual machines remain available during the migration of the disks, it is recommended to use Azure Site Recovery (ASR). ASR provides replication of on-premises virtual machines to Azure and supports both Windows and Linux operating systems. With ASR, you can replicate the virtual machines to Azure, perform a planned failover to switch over to the replicated virtual machines in Azure, and then complete the migration of the disks.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. No.
