Bamboozle Web Services Launches Cloud Migration as a Service

Organizations running workloads on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, VMware, and more can now move to Bamboozle's Dubai, Fujairah, or Vienna regions with no agents and minimal downtime.

Bamboozle Web Services today announced the general availability of Cloud Migration as a Service (CMaaS), a fully managed offering that moves virtual machines, storage, and networking configurations from leading public clouds and on-premises hypervisors directly into any of the company's three regions — Dubai DX1, Fujairah FJH1, and Vienna VIE2.

The service supports migrations from a broad range of source platforms: Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and System Center Virtual Machine Manager, and existing OpenStack deployments. Both Windows and Linux virtual machines are supported, covering distributions including Windows Server, Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE, Debian, Oracle Linux, and Fedora.

Supported source platforms

• Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Microsoft Azure
• Google Cloud Platform
• VMware vSphere
• Microsoft Hyper-V / SCVMM
• OpenStack
• Windows Server & Linux VMs
• Templates & storage volumes

Migrations are performed without installing any agent on the guest virtual machine. The platform uses only the public APIs exposed by source clouds to read compute, network, and storage configurations, then transfers disk data over secure HTTPS and SSH connections. Networking and storage settings are automatically re-applied on the destination, and operating system drivers are adapted for the target hypervisor — for example, KVM VirtIO drivers are injected automatically for Linux guests, and cloud-init is configured on arrival.

The process is non-disruptive. Source VMs continue running throughout the bulk of the data synchronization. A final short incremental sync is performed just before cutover, keeping the switchover window to a minimum. Multiple migrations can run in parallel, limited only by available network and storage throughput, making the service suitable for large-scale fleet moves as well as individual workload transfers.

Customers can migrate into any of Bamboozle's three regions depending on where their workloads need to land.

The migration engine is built on Coriolis, the open-source cloud migration platform used by service providers globally, integrated and operated by Bamboozle as a fully managed service. Customers interact through the BWS portal or API — there is no requirement to deploy or operate any migration infrastructure independently.

CMaaS is available to all BWS customers today. Migrations are priced per virtual machine. Customers looking to assess scope or plan a large-scale move can contact the BWS solutions team for a pre-migration assessment.
