What is the purpose of the Azure App Service Migration Assistant?

The Azure App Service Migration Assistant is specifically designed to facilitate the migration of websites to the Azure cloud platform. This tool assesses on-premises web applications and provides recommendations and steps to move those applications smoothly to Azure App Service, ensuring minimal downtime and a streamlined transition.

The process includes evaluating the application’s dependencies and readiness for migration and offering insights into how well the application would perform in the Azure environment. By using this tool, developers and IT professionals can automate much of the migration process, leading to cost and time savings while leveraging Azure's features.

Other options like monitoring IIS performance, managing Azure resources, and optimizing server configurations do not accurately describe the primary function of the Azure App Service Migration Assistant, which is focused on supporting web application migrations specifically.
