+- The number of databases you can migrate to a SQL server Azure Virtual Machine depends on the hardware specification and workload, but there is no enforced limit. However, every migration operation (start migration, cutover) for each database will take a few mins sequentially. For example, to migrate 100 databases, it may take approx. 200 (2 x 100) minutes to create the migration queue and approx. 100 (1 x 100) minutes to cutover all 100 databases (excluding backup and restore timing). Therefore, the migration will become slower as the number of databases increases. Microsoft advises either scheduling a longer migration window in advance based on rigorous migration testing or partitioning large databases into batches when migrating them to a SQL server Azure VM.
