What should be renamed after the cutover during an Azure Migrate configuration?

After the cutover during an Azure Migrate configuration, it is essential to rename the source device. This step is crucial for properly managing and identifying resources post-migration. Once the migration has taken place, the source device typically becomes obsolete or is repurposed, and ensuring it has a distinct name helps in differentiating it from other devices or resources within both the on-premises and cloud environments.

Renaming the source device also eliminates confusion regarding its former role and clearly indicates that the workload is now running in Azure. This practice aids in maintaining good governance and management within Azure, especially when tracking resources and their statuses after migration.

In contrast, the Azure VM, migration project, and Azure subscription do not require renaming post-cutover. The Azure VM represents the newly migrated instance and its configuration remains relevant and intact after the migration. The migration project serves as a record of the migration strategy and should stay identifiable for any future needs. The Azure subscription is a broader container for your Azure resources and typically does not change during the migration process, as it remains associated with your account. Thus, renaming the source device is the most pertinent action to take following the cutover.
