### What happens if I don’t clean up my test migration?

A test migration simulates the actual migration by creating a test Azure VM by using replicated data. The server is deployed with a point-in-time copy of the replicated data to the target `Resource Group` (that you select when you enable replication) with a `-test` suffix. Test migrations are intended to validate server functionality to minimize post-migration problems.

If the test migration isn't cleaned up after testing, the test VM continues to run in Azure and incurs charges. To clean up after a test migration, go to the **Replicating machines** view in the **Migration and modernization** tool, and use the **Cleanup test migration** action on the machine.

VMware changed-block tracking technology keeps track of changes between replication cycles for VMware VMs. At the start of the replication cycle, a VM snapshot is taken and changed-block tracking is used to compile the changes between the current snapshot and the last successfully replicated snapshot. To keep replication for the VM in sync, only data that changed since the last completed replication cycle needs to be replicated.

If you set up multiple appliances, there can be no overlap among the VMs on the provided vCenter accounts. A discovery with such an overlap is an unsupported scenario.

### How does agentless replication affect VMware servers?
313313

314-
Agentless replication results in some performance impact on VMware vCenter Server and VMware ESXi hosts. Because agentless replication uses snapshots, it consumes IOPS on storage, so some IOPS storage bandwidth is required. We don't recommend using agentless replication if you have constraints on storage or IOPs in your environment.

We highly recommend that you perform a test migration to ensure everything proceeds smoothly during the actual migration. This method can be useful when the initial replication process is lengthy, or for high-churn VMs, such as database servers or other disk-intensive workloads.

To migrate workloads running on Amazon Linux, you can spin up a CentOS/RHEL VM in Azure. Then, you can migrate the workload that runs on the AWS Linux machine by using a relevant workload migration approach. For example, depending on the workload, there might be workload-specific tools to aid the migration, like tools for databases or deployment tools for web servers.
