Method to create and perform appropriate workflow for datacenter migration

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for orchestrating migrations using workflows, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a migrator, a migration request;
• invoking, by the migrator, an endpoint information collector (EIC) to obtain endpoint information from a source endpoint and a target endpoint;
• performing a pre-requisite check using the endpoint information;
• analyzing, by a migration analyzer, the endpoint information to obtain a migration workflow, wherein analyzing the endpoint information comprises:
• classifying the endpoint information to obtain classified endpoint information;
• filtering the classified endpoint information to obtain filtered classified endpoint information;
• performing a comparison between a first portion of the filtered classified endpoint information and a stored workflow stored in a migration template storage;
• making a determination, based on the comparison, that a correlation between the first portion of the filtered classified endpoint information is above a correlation threshold;
• and
• generating the migration workflow comprising the stored workflow;
• and
• performing a migration using the migration workflow.

A system for orchestrating migrations using workflows, the system comprising:

• a migrator, executing on a processor comprising circuitry, and configured to:
• receive a migration request;
• invoke an endpoint information collector (EIC) to obtain endpoint information from a source endpoint and a target endpoint;
• perform a pre-requisite check using the endpoint information;
• analyze the endpoint information to obtain a migration workflow, wherein, to analyze the endpoint information, the migrator is configured to:
• classify the endpoint information to obtain classified endpoint information;
• filter the classified endpoint information to obtain filtered classified endpoint information;
• perform a comparison between a first portion of the filtered classified endpoint information and a stored workflow stored in a migration template storage;
• make a determination, based on the comparison, that a correlation between the first portion of the filtered classified endpoint information is above a correlation threshold;
• and
• generate the migration workflow comprising the stored workflow;
• and
• perform a migration using the migration workflow.
