Azure Migrate is a Microsoft service that helps an enterprise assess how its on-premises workloads will perform, and how much they will cost to host, in the Azure public cloud.
An enterprise can use Azure Migrate to discover information about the VMware VMs running within its own data center, including CPU and memory usage, as well as performance history.
SAP EarlyWatch Alert (EWA) is a monitoring service for SAP customers, to monitor SAP systems in the solution landscape.

To reference a credential stored in Azure Key Vault, you need to:
1. Retrieve data factory managed identity
2. Grant the managed identity access to your Azure Key Vault
3. Create a linked service pointing to your Azure Key Vault.
4. Create data store linked service, inside which reference the corresponding secret stored in key vault.

Box 1: A proximity placement group
Azure offers proximity placement groups. Proximity placement groups can be used to force grouping of different VM types into a single Azure datacenter to optimize the network latency between these different VM types to thebest possible. In the process of deploying the first VM into such a proximity placement group, the VM gets bound to a specific datacenter.
Note: SAP applications based on the SAP NetWeaver or SAP S/4HANA architecture are sensitive to network latency between the SAP application tier and the SAP database tier. This sensitivity is the result of most of the business logic running in the application layer. Because the SAP application layer runs the business logic, it issues queries to the database tier at a high frequency, at a rate of thousands or tens of thousands per second. In most cases, the nature of these queries is simple. They can often be run on the database tier in 500 microseconds or less.
Box 2: Enable Accelerated Networking
To further reduce network latency between Azure VMs, we recommend that you choose Azure Accelerated Networking. Use it when you deploy Azure VMs for an SAP workload, especially for the SAP application layer and the SAP DBMS layer.
Box 3: Network Performance Monitor
Network Performance Monitor (NPM) - a cloud-based network monitoring solution for cloud-only, on-premises, and hybrid networking environments.
Network Performance Monitor offers three broad capabilities:
Performance Monitor: You can monitor network connectivity across cloud deployments and on-premises locations, multiple data centers, and branch offices and mission-critical multitier applications or microservices. With Performance Monitor, you can detect network issues before users complain.
Service Connectivity Monitor
ExpressRoute Monitor
Note 2: Azure Monitor for SAP Solutions is an Azure-native monitoring product for anyone running their SAP landscapes on Azure. It works with both SAP on Azure Virtual Machines and SAP on Azure Large Instances.
