Azure Storage Mover is a managed migration service that enables you to move data from on-premises file shares to Azure Storage. You can migrate from on-premises SMB to Azure Files or Azure Blob containers and on-premises NFS to Azure Blob containers. 

The service operates through a migration appliance - an agent VM that runs within your organization’s infrastructure, close to the source storage. Once registered, the agent is fully managed from the Storage Mover resource you create here.

    2. Download, deploy, and register the migration agent VM.
