Hi Juan,
Great question! The key here is understanding the scope of what the question is asking.
The question specifically asks how to host AppDB and perform the database migration with minimal downtime and least administrative effort, not how to migrate the entire server or the PHIInvManage application.
The PHIInvManage requirement is already addressed by the choice of SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines. Since it’s an IaaS solution, PHIInvManage can simply be installed on the same VM alongside SQL Server, replicating the existing on-premises setup without any additional migration tool.
As for Azure Migrate, it is designed for assessing and migrating entire servers or VMs to Azure. It does not provide the built-in capabilities needed for database migration with minimal downtime, which is the core requirement of this question.
If you have other questions, feel free to reach out!
