What tool should be used to configure Hyper-V VMs for replication to Azure Site Recovery?

The correct tool for configuring Hyper-V VMs for replication to Azure Site Recovery is the Azure Site Recovery configuration server. This server is specifically designed to manage replication and failover of on-premises virtual machines to Azure, including Hyper-V VMs.

Using the Azure Site Recovery configuration server, you can set up replication policies, manage the replication process, and orchestrate failover of virtual machines from your local Hyper-V environment to Azure. This enables businesses to achieve disaster recovery by ensuring that their critical workloads are available in the cloud in the event of an outage or failure in the primary site.

The other options serve different purposes and do not facilitate the replication of Hyper-V VMs to Azure Site Recovery. Azure Traffic Manager is primarily used for routing traffic to different Azure services for better performance and availability but does not handle VM replication. Azure Virtual Machine Manager is focused on managing virtual machines within a local or on-premises environment rather than performing cloud-based replication. Azure Backup service is utilized for backing up data, not specifically for VM replication to Azure Site Recovery. Thus, the Azure Site Recovery configuration server is the appropriate choice for this task.
