This tutorial shows you how to discover the servers that are running in your VMware environment by using the Azure Migrate: Discovery and assessment tool, a lightweight Azure Migrate appliance. You deploy the appliance as a server running in your vCenter Server instance, to continuously discover servers and their performance metadata, applications that are running on servers, server dependencies, web apps, and SQL Server instances and databases.

Azure Migrate must have a vCenter Server read-only account to discover and assess servers running in your VMware environment. If you also want to run discovery of installed applications and agentless dependency analysis, the account must have [permissions](migrate-support-matrix-vmware-migration.md#vmware-vsphere-requirements-agentless) enabled in VMware for VM guest operations.
