Last Updated:Jun 06, 2023

This topic describes the migration plan feature of Cloud Migration Hub (CMH) and how to create a migration plan in CMH.

Overview

CMH supports the following types of migration plans: Alibaba Cloud cross-zone migration and Amazon Web Services (AWS) migration. After you create a migration plan, you can add the resources to be migrated to a migration group, view the migration progress, and assign migration tools. You can also create resources and start migration as instructed by the migration plan.

An Alibaba Cloud cross-zone migration plan allows you to migrate Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances, ApsaraDB RDS instances, ApsaraDB for Redis instances, Server Load Balancer (SLB) instances, and vSwitches.
