A new version of Nutanix Move – VM migration tool which makes it possible to migrate VMs between environments with minimal downtime – was released a few days ago meaning the latest version is now 4.2 . A major improvement to this version is the functionality to migrate your Azure based workload to Nutanix including both AHV and ESXi.
