Deploy Required Migration Prerequisites
The Oracle Cloud Migrations service enables you to migrate VMware virtual machines to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Compute. To use the Oracle Cloud Migrations service, you need to have access to an OCI tenancy, set up appropriate dynamic groups and service policies, a Vault for storing source environment credentials, an Object Storage bucket for data replication, tagging namespace, and tags. Ensure that you have created all these migration resources before you start the migration process.
The recommended way to deploy Oracle Cloud Migrations prerequisites is by using the Resource Manager Stack provided on the Oracle Cloud Migrations Overview page of the Oracle Cloud Console. The stack includes tags that the Console detects when newer prerequisite versions, such as updated service policies, are available. When new service features are released, a stack update is provided for any additional prerequisite resources. In addition to the prerequisites, user policies and groups can also be used to enable the tenancy users to use the service. For more information, see User Policies.
