--- title: Support Matrix description: This article provides a summary of support settings and limitations for the Azure Migrate service. author: Vikram1988 ms.author: vibansa ms.topic: concept-article ms.reviewer: v-uhabiba ms.date: 05/08/2025 ms.custom: engagement-fy24 # Customer intent: As a cloud architect, I want to understand the Azure Migrate support matrix so that I can determine the service's capabilities and limitations for assessing and migrating on-premises workloads to Azure effectively. --- # Azure Migrate support matrix You can use the [Azure Migrate service](./migrate-services-overview.md) to assess and migrate servers to the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. This article summarizes general support settings and limitations for Azure Migrate scenarios and deployments. ## Supported scenarios Deployment | Details --- | --- Discovery | Discover server metadata and dynamic performance data. Software inventory | Discover apps, roles, and features running on VMware virtual machines (VMs). Currently, this feature is limited to discovery only. Assessment is currently at the server level. We don't yet offer app, role, or feature-based assessments. Assessment | Assess on-premises workloads and data running on VMware VMs, Hyper-V VMs, and physical servers. Assess by using Azure Migrate Discovery and Assessment, Microsoft Data Migration Assistant, and tools from other software development companies. Migration | Migrate workloads and data running on physical servers, VMware VMs, Hyper-V VMs, physical servers, and cloud-based VMs to Azure. Migrate by using Azure Migrate and Modernize, Azure Database Migration Service, and tools from other software development companies. ## Project Support | Details --- | --- Subscription | You can have multiple projects within a subscription. Azure permissions | Users need Contributor or Owner permissions in the subscription to create a project. VMware VMs | Assess up to 35,000 VMware VMs in a single project. Hyper-V VMs | Assess up to 35,000 Hyper-V VMs in a single project. A project can include both VMware VMs and Hyper-V VMs, up to the assessment limits. ## Azure permissions Refer [this article](prepare-azure-accounts.md) to prepare Azure accounts. ## Supported geographies ### Public cloud When you create a project in the public cloud, you select a geography. The project and related resources are created in one of the regions in the geography. The Azure Migrate service allocates the region. The project geography is used only to store discovered metadata. Azure Migrate does not move or store customer data outside the allocated region. You can create a project in the following geographies in the public cloud. Although you can create projects only in these geographies, you can assess or migrate servers for other target locations. Geography | Metadata storage location --- | --- Africa | South Africa or North Africa Asia Pacific | East Asia Australia | Australia East or Australia Southeast Brazil | Brazil South Canada | Canada Central or Canada East Europe | North Europe or West Europe France | France Central Germany | Germany West Central India | Central India or South India Indonesia| Indonesia Central Israel| Israel Central Italy | North Italy Japan | Japan East or Japan West Jio India | Jio India West Korea | Korea Central Malaysia | Malaysia West Mexico | Mexico Central New Zealand | New Zealand North Norway | Norway East Spain | Spain Central Sweden | Sweden Central Switzerland | Switzerland North United Arab Emirates | UAE North United Kingdom | UK South or UK West United States | Central US or West US 2 Chile | Chile Central > [!NOTE] > For Switzerland geography, Switzerland West is available only for REST API users and needs an approved subscription. ### Azure Government Task | Geography | Details --- | --- | --- Project creation | United States | Metadata is stored in US Gov Arizona and US Gov Virginia. Target assessment | United States | Target regions: US Gov Arizona, US Gov Virginia, US Gov Texas. Target replication | United States | Target regions: US DoD Central, US DoD East, US Gov Arizona, US Gov Iowa, US Gov Texas, US Gov Virginia. ### Azure operated by 21Vianet Geography | Metadata storage location --- | --- Microsoft Azure operated by 21Vianet | China North 2 ::: moniker-end ## VMware assessment and migration [Review](migrate-support-matrix-vmware.md) the support matrix for using the Azure Migrate Discovery and Assessment tool and the Azure Migrate and Modernize tool to discover VMware VMs. ## Hyper-V assessment and migration [Review](migrate-support-matrix-hyper-v.md) the support matrix for using the Azure Migrate Discovery and Assessment tool and the Azure Migrate and Modernize tool to assess Hyper-V VMs. ## Related content - [Assess VMware VMs for migration to Azure](./tutorial-assess-vmware-azure-vm.md) - [Assess Hyper-V VMs for migration to Azure](tutorial-assess-hyper-v.md)
