Why use the migration toolkit for virtualization

Easy to use UI

Straightforward, easy to use interface to quickly connect to existing VMs and create migration plans

Mass migration to OpenShift

Easily migrate VMs from alternative virtualization sources to OpenShift and between OpenShift clusters. For quick validation, run checks on VM configuration to avoid migration issues.

Limited downtime

Avoid impact or disruption on other running workloads throughout the migration process. VM data pre-copied before shutdown (warm migration) for VMware and Red Hat Virtualization migrations.
