help Google Cloud Migration Center FAQ

Is Google Cloud Migration Center the same product as CloudEndure Migration?

No. CloudEndure Migration was a separate migration tool associated with AWS, while Google Cloud Migration Center is Google's current platform for discovery, assessment, cost estimation, planning, and migration. Google also deprecated CloudEndure as a Google migration tool on January 30, 2019. [Google documents Migration Center separately](https://docs.cloud.google.com/migration-center/docs/migration-center-overview), and [AWS documents CloudEndure Migration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-guidance/latest/migration-cloudendure/introduction.html).

What does Google Cloud Migration Center do before migration starts?

It inventories servers, virtual machines, databases, and dependencies, then helps teams group workloads and generate total-cost-of-ownership reports. It can also suggest suitable Google Cloud products and compare migration scenarios before production cutover.

Can Migration Center collect data without immediately uploading it to Google Cloud?

Yes. The `mcdc` command-line tool can run discovery and offline assessment on Windows or Linux, allowing an organization to review collected data locally before exporting it. Google documents an export limit of up to 10,000 machines for the CLI workflow.

Does Migration Center support only lift-and-shift migrations?

No. Google describes Migration Center as supporting rehost, replatform, and refactor planning, with additional tools for modernization. The platform is mainly the assessment and planning layer, while the actual migration method depends on the workload and target Google Cloud service.
