Architecture diagrams for all migration paths.
Common Architecture
Simple Two-Hop Pattern
Tool-neutral architecture for documentation overviews:
Nutanix AHV/ESXi (Source) → Hyper-V Staging (Intermediate) → Azure Local (Target)

Veeam Migration Path
Scenario page detailed architecture
Scenario-page component diagram: source Nutanix estate, Veeam B&R control plane, Hyper-V staging, Azure Migrate appliance, and Azure Local destination.
diagrams/scenarios/01-veeam-architecture-detailed.drawio
High-Level Architecture
Two-hop architecture: Nutanix AHV/ESXi → Veeam replication → Hyper-V staging → Azure Migrate → Azure Local.
Batch Pipeline Flow
Sequential batch execution — 10 VMs per batch, Hop 1 cutover before Hop 2 begins.
Veeam Setup Detail
Detailed component diagram: Veeam server, AHV proxy VM, replication jobs, Hyper-V target.
Azure Migrate Workflow
Azure Migrate: appliance discovery → replication → test migration → production cutover → Azure Local VMs.

HYCU Migration Path
Scenario page detailed architecture
Scenario-page component diagram: Nutanix source estate, HYCU controller and backup target, Hyper-V restore landing zone, Azure Migrate appliance, and Azure Local destination.
diagrams/scenarios/02-hycu-architecture-detailed.drawio
HYCU Setup Detail
HYCU controller VM on AHV, backup target, Hyper-V restore target, Azure Migrate.

Commvault Migration Path
Scenario page detailed architecture
Scenario-page component diagram: Nutanix source estate, Commvault control and copy layers, Hyper-V staging, Azure Migrate appliance, and Azure Local destination.
diagrams/scenarios/03-commvault-architecture-detailed.drawio
High-Level Architecture
Two-hop architecture: Nutanix AHV/ESXi → Commvault protected copy → Hyper-V staging → Azure Migrate → Azure Local.
Commvault Setup Detail
Control plane, media or worker components, protected storage, Hyper-V staging target, and Azure Migrate handoff.

Deploy-First Migration Path
Scenario page detailed architecture
Scenario-page component diagram: build-first Azure Local target VM, direct migration methods, and no intermediate Hyper-V staging layer in the primary flow.

Architecture Overview
The editable draw.io source (open in app.diagrams.net):assets/diagrams/migration-diagrams-deploy-first.drawio
Page 1 — Architecture: Carbonite-based OS-level replication variant inside the broader Deploy-First path. Shows source Nutanix VM → Carbonite → pre-provisioned Azure Local target VM. Contrasts with the Veeam/HYCU/Commvault two-hop pattern (no Hyper-V staging host required).
Page 2 — Migration Steps: Eight-step swimlane — Provision target VM, install agents, create job, initial mirror, continuous replication, test failover, cutover, validate and cleanup. Includes timeline bar and when-to-use / when-not-to-use callouts.
Proof of Concept (PoC) Diagrams
PoC Matrix Overview
3×2 matrix: Veeam, HYCU, and Commvault across Option A (standalone Hyper-V) and Option B (Azure Local-hosted Hyper-V).
diagrams/poc/poc-six-cell-matrix.drawio
Option A — Standalone Hyper-V
Dedicated physical or virtual Hyper-V staging host separate from Azure Local.
Option B — Azure Local Direct
Azure Local cluster node used as Hyper-V staging target — no separate hardware.
