1
00:00:01,140 --> 00:00:02,610
In summary, what have we learned?

2
00:00:02,610 --> 00:00:04,800
What are we walking away from in this lesson?

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,340
I hope you agree with me that AFS represents a great way for a business to

4
00:00:09,340 --> 00:00:14,970
evolve past DFS into a true hybrid cloud hybrid storage solution.

5
00:00:14,970 --> 00:00:19,130
If nothing else, it's a nice entry point into cloud storage for your business.

6
00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:22,850
You also could look at AFS as a way to help you or accelerate

7
00:00:22,850 --> 00:00:25,100
your journey in a lift and shift scenario.

8
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:28,170
Many businesses will do a lift and shift where your workload or

9
00:00:28,170 --> 00:00:30,610
your application is running on local VMs,

10
00:00:30,610 --> 00:00:34,030
and you migrate them into a virtual network and basically have them

11
00:00:34,030 --> 00:00:36,440
run in the cloud the way that they did on‑prem,

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,040
that's a perfectly valid way to perform an application migration.

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,640
You can do that using AFS and the file share service in

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,330
storage accounts to preserve things like those drive

15
00:00:47,330 --> 00:00:49,790
mappings in your Azure virtual machines.

16
00:00:49,790 --> 00:00:53,420
You might also want to consider using AFS as a way to eventually

17
00:00:53,420 --> 00:00:56,090
decommission some of your local file servers.

18
00:00:56,090 --> 00:00:59,890
This is particularly useful if you do have the benefit of a hybrid

19
00:00:59,890 --> 00:01:04,310
connectivity like site‑to‑site VPN or ExpressRoute because you can do a direct

20
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:07,780
mount of Azure files file shares in your storage accounts,

21
00:01:07,780 --> 00:01:11,990
and then have your servers and clients communicate with those cloud‑based file

22
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:16,600
shares using native file share protocols like NFS and SMB.

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:17,840
I'll leave you with a question.

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:18,460
Alright, Tim,

25
00:01:18,460 --> 00:01:21,610
you mentioned some stuff here about monitoring there at the tail end.

26
00:01:21,610 --> 00:01:26,310
Specifically, how can I monitor and meter my AFS performance and effectiveness?

27
00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:28,750
I need to give a report to my boss or maybe I need to

28
00:01:28,750 --> 00:01:30,910
try to justify this to my team.

29
00:01:30,910 --> 00:01:31,920
Another question is,

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,400
you caught my attention with this migration from AFS from DFS‑R,

31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,640
specifically, how do I go about doing that?

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,910
Well, you know, I'm leading you, again.

33
00:01:40,910 --> 00:01:43,820
I'll see you in the next module, and we'll cover both of those questions.

34
00:01:43,820 --> 00:01:46,570
The module is entitled Manage Azure File Sync.

35
00:01:46,570 --> 00:01:48,000
Thank you. I'll see you then.
