    Hello @Yiz Segall

    It looks like you're trying to restart the Azure Database Migration Service because it's currently stopped and displaying a "Service Unavailable" error.

    Here’s what you can do to restart the migration service:

    1. Open the Azure portal: Navigate to [Azure portal] (https://ms.portal.azure.com/#home).
    2. Select Resource Groups: Search for "Resource groups" in the portal.
    3. Locate Your Resource Group: Find the resource group associated with your migration service. In your case, it seems to be MediaSync-Portal.
    4. Open the Migration Service: Look for the DreamhostMigration service under the specific resource group and click on it.
    5. Start the Service: Inside the service page, there should be an option to "Start" the service. Click on it and confirm if prompted.

    After that, wait a moment for the service to start and check back to see if your migrations resume successfully.

    If you're still having issues after trying these steps, consider the following:

    • Ensure you have the appropriate permissions to start the service.
    • If the service fails to start, double-check any existing network configurations or firewall settings that might be blocking the connection.
