Windows Azure Application Migration Wizard

The MAP Toolkit will gather performance details for web applications and databases deployed in your environment.  You then create an Application scenario by choosing the Web Applications, SQL databases, and Servers that compose an Application deployed in your environment.  Using this information, MAP will provide an estimate of the capacity required to support your application after migrating it to the Windows Azure Platform as well as insight into critical issues that must be taken into consideration when migrating the application.

The Azure Application Configuration Wizard lets you select from a list of web applications and SQL Server® databases and Servers discovered and inventoried by the MAP Toolkit. To open the Azure Application Configuration Wizard, click the Create Application link in the Actions pane of the Windows Azure Application Migration node.

Before you create an Application, you should complete the following tasks:

·         Run the Performance Metrics Wizard, using an imported text file of computer names, for a time duration that accurately captures the utilization of the server.

·         Identify the candidate web apps, SQL instances, or servers for migration.
