The migration manager receives a request to generate a migration plan for migrating resources associated with the current cloud environment to a target cloud environment. The migration manager generates a list of resources utilized by the enterprise in the current cloud environment. The migration manager augments the list of resources with metadata comprising a set of descriptive tags generated by the migration manager. The set of descriptive tags indicates a capability associated with a given resource. The migration manager compares the augmented list of resources to a set of known capabilities associated with the target cloud environment. Based on the comparing, the migration manager generates the migration plan for migrating the resources from the current cloud environment to the target cloud environment. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: deploying a migration manager within a current cloud environment associated with an enterprise;
