Today, the MTV does not allow migration of VMs from AWS EC2 to OCP on AWS EC2.

MTV should have a way to import EC2 VMs from AWS.

Summary

This ticket outlines the development and documentation of the new feature that enables migration to AWS EC2 within the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV). The documentation will follow a structured content journey to ensure users can effectively discover, learn, try, adopt, and expand their use of this feature.

Jobs to Be Done

To ensure the documentation meets user needs, the following jobs to be done have been identified for the AWS EC2 migration feature:

1. As a cloud administrator, I want to easily understand the prerequisites for migrating to AWS EC2 so that I can prepare my environment and ensure a smooth migration process.

1. As an IT manager, I want to access best practices for AWS EC2 migration so that I can optimize performance and minimize downtime during the migration.

1. As a developer, I want to follow step-by-step tutorials for using the AWS EC2 migration feature so that I can quickly implement the migration in my projects without extensive trial and error.

1. As a business analyst, I want to review case studies of successful AWS EC2 migrations so that I can present compelling evidence to stakeholders about the benefits and feasibility of the migration.

Acceptance Criteria

• Documentation is structured according to the content journey stages.
• Each stage includes relevant and comprehensive content that addresses the identified jobs to be done.
• User feedback mechanisms are in place to gather insights for future improvements.
• All content is reviewed and approved by relevant stakeholders before publication.

This ticket aims to ensure that the documentation for the AWS EC2 migration feature is thorough, user-centric, and effectively supports users throughout their journey with the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization.
