- Public preview: Azure Migrate now supports Arc-based discovery, enabling you to assess on-premises servers and SQL Server instances that are already Azure Arc-enabled—without deploying additional infrastructure. This integration accelerates migration planning by leveraging existing Arc data to generate business cases and assessments within an hour. [Learn more](concepts-arc-resource-discovery.md).

Public preview: Wave Planning in Azure Migrate provides a structured approach to cloud migration and modernization. It helps organizations break down large-scale migrations into manageable **waves** of workloads and applications. This capability accelerates timelines, reduces uncertainty, and minimizes risks through phased execution and logical grouping. [Learn more](overview.md).

### Public Preview - Insights in Azure Migrate
57-
58-
Azure Migrate offers integrated **Security insights**, allowing customers to assess potential risks within their on-premises environment. The solution delivers actionable recommendations to effectively mitigate these risks as part of the migration planning. It uses improved Software inventory to identify use of multiple security tools and suggests consolidation with Microsoft Defender for Cloud. [Learn more](insights-overview.md).

Notable aspects of the solution:
61-
- Built-in dashboard view summarizing security risks in discovered Servers and Software.
62-
- Auto-detects security risks such as unsupported operating systems and software, pending security and critical updates, known vulnerabilities (CVEs) associated with software versions currently in use, and servers lacking security or patch management software.
63-
- Recommends mitigation strategies for secure migration by configuring Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Azure Update Manager.
64-
- Highlights fragmentation in security tooling in the environment through [classification](how-to-discover-applications.md#software-classification--potential-targets).

### Software inventory enhancements
67-
These following enhancements will help improve the usability of the inventory and assist customers in planning for the migration of this software as part of their overall migration planning for their workloads. [Learn more](how-to-discover-applications.md)
68-
69-
- **Review software discovery across the project:** The enhancement enables users to review the software discovered across all servers, discovered from their datacenter.
70-
- **Sanitized and classified software inventory:** The software inventory metadata is sanitized and classified into Categories & Subcategories that help you easily review key software & their insights across categories of Security, Monitoring, IT Management, Web hosting, Data platforms, Business Applications etc.
71-
- **Software insights:** In addition to the software metadata you can now find software insights such as Support status and Vulnerabilities for all software discovered from your datacenter.
72-
- **Potential Azure Targets:** You can also review the list of Potential Targets that have been suggested (mapped to a subcategory of software) to plan the migration of their software to the Azure 1P services or 3P ISV services available as [Azure Native integrations](/azure/partner-solutions/partners) through Azure Marketplace.
73-
- **Security insights**: These enhancements power key security insights which help customers understand their overall security posture. [Learn more](insights-overview.md)
74-
- **Scoping and filtering capabilities:** Users can search and filter with software metadata and insights to easily scope the inventory for analysis, export and migration planning.

### Public preview: Dependency visualization across multiple servers
77-
78-
You can use this capability to:
79-
- **Visualize network dependencies across servers:** This feature enables you to visualize network dependencies between discovered across different appliances. This comprehensive helps you understand how servers communicate within your datacenter. [Learn more](how-to-create-group-machine-dependencies-agentless.md#visualize-dependencies-across-servers)
80-
- **Navigate easily with user-friendly controls:** The visualization layout is designed with intuitive controls that make it easy for you to move through the dependency map. This helps you efficiently explore server dependencies for scale environments without complexity.
81-
- **Interact with nodes for server insights:** You can interact directly with nodes within the visualization to access detailed server information. This includes viewing immediate dependents and connection details, allowing for a deeper understanding of each server’s properties and dependencies.
82-
- **Scope and filter visualization:** You can search by server names and apply filters using netstat data, such as process and port information, enabling scoped analysis of network connections.
83-
- **Switch to per server view:** For more granular analysis, you can switch the visualization to a per-server view. This mode allows analyzing network connections at the process and port levels for individual servers. [Learn more](how-to-create-group-machine-dependencies-agentless.md#visualize-individual-server-dependencies).
84-
- **Identify and group high-affinity servers:** The visualization makes it easy to identify servers that are tightly coupled and exhibit high affinity. You can multi-select these servers and tag them as application groups, supporting logical organization and application-centric migration planning.
