ASR: Azure Site Recovery Yes — Azure Site Recovery (ASR) is commonly used as a migration tool , even though its primary purpose is disaster recovery. How ASR Is Used for Migration Organizations use ASR to perform: Lift-and-shift migrations VMware to Azure migrations Hyper-V to Azure migrations Physical server to Azure migrations ASR replicates workloads continuously from on-premises infrastructure to Azure. During the final cutover, the replicated VM is started in Azure with minimal downtime. Migration Workflow Using ASR Typical Flow Discover on-prem servers Enable replication Continuous data synchronization Test failover (optional) Planned failover/cutover Azure VM becomes production workload This approach minimizes: Downtime Data loss Manual rebuild effort Why ASR Is Popular for Migration Benefit Explanation Minimal Downtime Continuous replication keeps Azure VM updated Fast Migration No need to rebuild servers manually Testing Capability Test...
