To transfer data from on-premises to the cloud, Azure offers a variety of tools and services. The business case for the migration will determine the tools that will be employed. Let's examine five such tools for data migration and the scenarios in which you might want to use them.

What Exactly Is an Azure Data Migration Tool? www.nuvento.com
1. Azure Migrate The simplest and safest method for transferring applications and data to the cloud is lift and shift. Customers beginning their cloud migration journeys favour it because of this. The best Azure migration service resource for lift and shift migrations is Azure Migrate.
2. Azure Data Migration Services To host your databases, Azure offers a variety of PaaS and IaaS alternatives. The Azure Data Migration Assistant (DMA) and Azure Database Migration Service (DMS) support this process by evaluating the current databases, suggesting corrections as needed, and facilitating the migration. Before migrating databases to the intended target for Azure Data Services, the remediations should be undertaken as a requirement.
3. SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) Customers utilising various database systems can use SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) to migrate their data to SQL Server or Azure Synapse Analytics. Microsoft Access, MySQL, Oracle, SAP ASE, and DB2 databases are among the supported source systems. SQL Server IaaS installations with versions starting in 2012 and later up to SQL Server 2019 (on Windows and Linux) or Azure SQL Database/Managed Instance are supported by SSMA. Only the SSMA tool for Oracle is capable of supporting Azure Synapse Analytics as a target environment.
4. Azure Synapse Pathway One of the main obstacles to modernising data warehouses is frequently adapting old SQL code to the needs of the target platform. Thousands of lines of code created over many years can be found in a database, making translation labor- and money-intensive. By automating code translation to make it possible to transfer existing data warehouses to Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Synapse Pathway helps to address this issue. Data Definition Language (DDL) and Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements can be automatically translated to T-SQL compliant language by Azure Synapse Pathway, making it compatible with Azure Synapse SQL as a target for migration.
5. Azure Backup and Site Recovery Azure Backup is a cloud-based backup tool that can be used to backup data from a variety of sources, including on-premises servers, Azure VMs, managed discs, Azure file shares, and more. By restoring the backup data to the target Azure environment, you could utilise the service for data transfer needs. For enterprise applications like SQL server, Exchange, and Sharepoint, Azure Backup includes built-in application consistency. This consistency makes it possible to instal a working environment with the restored data quickly and without incurring any additional costs. Data replication from on-premises or other cloud environments to Azure is possible with Azure Site Recovery, a cloud-based DR solution. Although the main goal of the service is to make Azure a DR site for your workloads, it can also be used to replicate workloads and perform a one-time failover of the environments to Azure. The service additionally makes advantage of the application-consistent snapshot-based replication mechanism to guarantee the integrity of applications following failover.
