## What it does

The plugin examines Terraform files, application code, and cloud billing data to shape an AWS migration plan. For GCP workloads, it maps existing services to AWS equivalents and estimates costs across pricing tiers. For AI workloads, it can map models to Amazon Bedrock and prepare artifacts for the transition.

Infrastructure output includes Terraform files and numbered migration scripts, with database tooling selected according to database size. Cost estimates are compared with current spending. Heroku CLI access is read-only and requires authentication and consent; processing stays local. There is a catch: this plugin has been folded into `aws-startup-advisor` and no longer receives updates.

## Requirements
- Works with: AWS

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install migration-to-aws@claude-plugins-official
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official
```

## When to use it
- plan a move from GCP services to AWS equivalents
- compare projected AWS costs with current cloud spending
- generate Terraform files for a migration
- choose a database transfer method based on database size
- prepare scripts for data and container migration

## Example prompts
- Review my Terraform files and plan a migration from GCP to AWS.
- Compare AWS cost tiers with the spending shown in my billing data.
- Assess my AI workload and map its models to Amazon Bedrock.

# Agent Skills for AWS Migration

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **This plugin has moved and was folded into another plugin.** Its skills now ship inside

> in [aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws](https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws). There is no
> `migration-to-aws` plugin in the Agent Toolkit — install `aws-startup-advisor` and you get all of
> these skills. `migration-to-aws` is no longer maintained here and receives no further updates of any
> kind — no new features, no fixes.

AI agent skills for migrating workloads to AWS, built for [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/claude-code/overview), [Codex](https://openai.com/codex), and [Cursor](https://www.cursor.com/).

## What This Does

Point this plugin at your Heroku account (via your authenticated Heroku CLI, read-only and consent-gated), your Terraform files, application code, or billing data. It runs a structured 6-phase assessment — discovering what you have, asking the right questions, designing the AWS architecture, estimating costs with real pricing data, and generating runnable migration artifacts.

**Supported migration sources:**

- **GCP → AWS** — Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, GKE, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, VPC, and AI/agentic workloads
- **Heroku → AWS** — Dynos, Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Private Spaces, Pipelines, and 13+ common add-ons

**For infrastructure migrations:**

- **Maps your resources to AWS equivalents** — Cloud Run → Fargate, Cloud SQL → RDS or Aurora, Dynos → Elastic Beanstalk, Heroku Postgres → RDS/Aurora, and more
- **Generates production-ready Terraform** — `vpc.tf`, `compute.tf`, `database.tf`, `security.tf`, `baseline.tf` with account-wide security controls (GuardDuty, CloudTrail, IMDSv2, ECR scanning), and a full `terraform/README.md`
- **Selects the right database migration tool** — pg_dump for small databases, pgcopydb for parallel copy at scale, AWS DMS for zero-downtime migrations — based on your actual database size
- **Produces numbered migration scripts** — prerequisites validation, data migration, container image migration, secrets migration, and post-migration validation
- **Estimates costs across three tiers** — Premium, Balanced, and Optimized — using real-time AWS pricing, compared against your current spend

**For AI and agentic migrations:**

- **Detects your entire AI stack** — not just "you use GPT-4o" but your agents, tools, orchestration patterns, memory layers, and multi-model pipelines
- **Recommends three migration paths** for agentic workloads: retarget (keep your framework, swap models), AgentCore Harness (config-based managed agents), or Strands Agents (AWS-native multi-agent SDK)
- **Gives honest pricing comparisons** — finds the best Bedrock option for your workload with current pricing data, including side-by-side cost comparisons against your existing OpenAI/Gemini spend
- **Generates runnable AI artifacts** — `harness.json`, provider adapters, deployment scripts, incremental migration scripts — tailored to your specific models, tools, and architecture
