## Downtime considerations

Predicting downtime during a migration will depend upon the size of the database to be migrated and the speed of the private network connection to Azure cloud. Migration of SQL Server standalone instance does not require database downtime since it will be done using HCX vMotion mechanism but it isn't recommended to commit any critical data to the database and execute it during off-peak hours with an pre-approved change window.
