Migrate VMware virtual machine to Microsoft Azure with MVMC 3.0

Dear blog readers, in this blog post I would like to show you how to migrate VMware virtual machine to Microsoft Azure with Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter 3.0. The whole procedure is very simple and straight forward.

My infrastructure looks as follows
1. ESXi 5.5 with couple of VMs
2. Hyper-V host 2012 R2 with MVMC 3.0 installed

First what I need is a storage on Microsoft Azure. As you can see on the picture below I have few storages all ready created.

Now we are almost ready to put VM to Azure ;) Open MVMC 3.0 and follow the steps…
1

As you can see on the picture we only can convert VMware virtual machine disk to VHD (not to VHDX) and also, we must provide subscription of Azure account and certificate Thumbprint.
2

Open Microsoft Azure console and under Settings you can find Subscription ID and Certificate Thumbprint.
