When attempting to move legacy ASP.NET apps to Azure App Service, you might encounter a few challenges which are documented here.
The App Service Migration
Assistant is designed to simplify your journey to the cloud through a free,
simple, and fast solution to migrate ASP.Net applications from on-premises to
the cloud. You can quickly:
1. Assess whether your app is a good candidate for migration by running a scan of its public URL.
2. Download the Migration Assistant to begin your migration.
3. Use the tool to run readiness checks and general assessment of your app’s configuration settings, then migrate your app or site to Azure App Service via the tool.
How the tool works
The Migration Assistant tool is a local agent that performs a detailed assessment and then walks you through the migration process. The tool performs readiness checks as well as a general assessment of the web app’s configuration settings.
You can download Azure App
Service migration assistant from below URL
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/app-service/migration-assistant/
Once setup is downloaded then need to install on Web server and run the application. It will ask to choose the application from Web server.
Click on next button it will do
all azure migration assessment for your web application
Once the application has received a successful assessment, the tool will walk you through the process of authenticating with your Azure subscription and then prompt you to provide details on the target account and App Service plan along with other configuration details for the newly migrated site.
The Migration Assistant tool will then move your site to the target App Service plan while also configuring Hybrid Connections, should that option be selected.
Database migration and Hybrid Connections
Azure App Service migration
assistant is designed to migrate the web application and associated
configurations, but it does not migrate the database. There are two options for
your database:
1. Use the SQL Migration Tool
2. Leave your database on-premises and connect to it from the cloud using Hybrid Connections
SQL Migration Tool
If you want to migrate on-premises database on Azure, then you can migrate it with help of data migration assistant. I have previously written details blog on it. You can read it in this link What is data migration assistant?
Leave your database on-premises
You can also leave your database
in your on-premises database as well. Azure App Service with connect with SQL
database with Hybrid Connections. Hybrid Connections allows you to securely
access application resources in other networks – in this case an on-premises
SQL database. The migration tool configures and sets up Hybrid Connections for
you, allowing you to migrate your site while keeping your database on-premises
to be migrated at your leisure.
Hope it will help you to understand Azure App Service
migration assistant and how you can use this.
