The figure is an architecture of the CloudsBrain migration strategy from AWS to Alibaba cloud. A brief of the architecture is as follows:
- Agents on Source EC2 VMs: This is needed to install for data replication.
- User’s workstation: It is a Click2Cloud workbench where all business logic is written using Cloud SDKs and automation tools. User workstation includes:
- C2C Migration Tool: Helps end-users to migrate the VMs/ECS instances from AWS to Alibaba cloud.
- C2C automation Tool: This tool is used to perform advanced level tasks like instance provisioning using cloud SDKs.
- Image service on Destination Cloud: Here in image repository user will get an image of a source cloud VMs.
- ECS Instances: Users can create multiple ECS instances using image service of destination cloud.

CloudsBrain provides users with easy and adaptable steps to perform the migration.
The first step towards a successful data migration process is the evaluation of the basic needs of the business as well as its future capacity and use.
To understand it lets take an example:
Say you have virtual machines running on AWS and you would like to calculate how much this infrastructure would cost in Alibaba. Doing this by accessing the server by server review could take time.
We provide you with the tool that analyses your infrastructure and shows you in a matter of minutes how much money you can save by migrating from AWS to Alibaba cloud using CloudsBrain.
The workflow of migrating your workloads from AWS to Alibaba cloud using CloudsBrain is a simple procedure to follow. AWS as a source cloud migrates its VMs through CloudsBrain that either contains a workload in the public cloud or private clouds. For a private cloud platform, it uses optimized workloads. And for the public cloud, it uses PaaS and IaaS workloads for migrating to destination Alibaba cloud.
CloudsBrain Migration Flow:

The figure shows a migration flow from AWS to Alibaba cloud using CloudBrain. The source is AWS and the destination is Alibaba cloud. Users can perform migration in two ways. Immediate or scheduled migration. Before performing the migration selecting a VM is a mandatory step.
For migrating from AWS to Alibaba cloud, select AWS as a source cloud. After selecting the source cloud select its account type. Next, select Alibaba as a destination cloud. Select its account and zone. Also, the user needs to upload and map the SSH key for the selected cloud providers, after which a user needs to select VM for migration.
After selecting VMs, migration can be performed in two ways: immediate or scheduled migration. Select Immediate slider and click on the Start migration tab. To Schedule migration, click the slider to the right side, select date and time when user have to schedule migration. Also, users can start migration by selecting either image only or image plus instance. And this way migration can be performed through
CloudsBrain between AWS to Alibaba cloud.
