Azure Migrate Appliance is a lightweight tool that discovers on-premises servers and sends their configuration and performance data to Azure. It also performs software inventory, agentless dependency analysis, and detects workloads like web apps and SQL/MySQL Server instances. To use these features, users add server and guest credentials in the Appliance Config Manager. Following the principle of least privilege helps keep the setup secure and efficient.
