Link-TypeDescription
Machine -> StorageAssociations between machines and storages will be established: which machine uses which storage?
Technical Component -> MachineAssociations between technical components and machines will be established: which technical component runs on which machine?

General Permission Configuration

As a prerequisite to configure an Azure Migrate importer Txture platform needs to be able to access Azure Migrate based resources as part of its data collection process. For this typically a read-only access policy is used together with an API-only access credential.

To configure a Azure Migrate data source in Txture you need the following credentials:

  • Client App ID [Application (client) ID]
  • Client Secret
  • Tenant [Directory (tenant) ID]
  • Subcription ID
  • Resource Group
  • Migrate Project

Note: Make sure your Azure service principal has the permissions to read the migrate project (Azure Documentation).
