Linux (open SUSE 13.1)
All guests currently are provisioned with one or more network interfaces with static bindings and VHDX disks.
You need to move the VMs to Azure Virtual Machines hosted in an Azure subscription.

D.
Sysprep all Windows servers.

E.
Convert the existing virtual disks to the virtual hard disk (VHD) format.

Explanation:
A: For Linux the WALinuxAgent agent is mandatory.
C: Need to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher.

    In my opnion (A,B and E):
    A.
    Install the WALinuxAgent on Linux servers.
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/create-upload-generic?toc=%2fazure%2fvirtual-machines%2flinux%2ftoc.json

    The Azure Linux Agent (waagent) is required to properly provision a Linux virtual machine in Azure. You can get the latest version, file issues or submit pull requests at the Linux Agent GitHub repo.

    B.
    Ensure that all servers can acquire an IP by means of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

    Prepare the VM

    If you intend to use the VHD as-is to create a new VM, ensure the following steps are completed.
    Prepare a Windows VHD to upload to Azure. Do not generalize the VM using Sysprep.
    Remove any guest virtualization tools and agents that are installed on the VM (like VMware tools).
    Ensure the VM is configured to pull its IP address and DNS settings via DHCP. This ensures that the server obtains an IP address within the VNet when it starts up.

    ABE 100%
    2008 is not supported but that doesnt mean you cant upload your own vhd. It just prevents you from choosing 2008 from marketplace image gallery.
    you need dhcp because azure has its own vnet infrastructure
    you need walinuxagent for linux
    you need vhd because vhdx is not supported
    sysprep would be relevant if you wanted to deploy multiple virtual machines based on this one vhd(in which case, sysprep would generalize the image to be used many times)
