One or more VMs are running an OS not supported on the target cloud.
Description
One or more VMs are running an OS not supported on the target cloud.
Mitigation
Do not migrate CentOS 7 as-is. Upgrade the OS to a currently supported Linux distribution (e.g., RHEL 8/9, Rocky Linux 8/9, AlmaLinux 8/9, Ubuntu LTS) before migration or as part of the migration process.

Estimates. Actual results will vary
242 VMs to Azure
A regional professional services firm facing a 2.8× VMware subscription increase needed to move fast — with SQL Server always-on constraints, mixed storage paths, and key compliance requirements in play.
THE CHALLENGES
Mixed storage paths
vSAN for DB/file + NetApp NFS for the majority of VMs — two fundamentally different migration approaches required.
SQL Server Always On AG
Cutover must happen within downtime window.
Legal & SEC compliance
Records governed by state bar rules and SEC retention policy.
CFO instinct: Cloud is expensive
Initial view compared VMware renewal only vs Cloud compute — missing $855K in hardware, power & facilities that cloud eliminates.

Risk tradeoffs + wave planning — SQL cutover sequenced within the compliance window.
