Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for migrating one or more services from an edge device to a cloud computing environment. In one example, a migration service receives a request to migrate a first set of services from the edge device to the cloud computing environment. The migration service identifies a hardware profile of a computing device (or devices) of the cloud computing environment that matches the edge device, and then configures the computing device to execute a second set of services that corresponds to the first set of services. The migration service establishes a communication channel between the edge device and the computing device, and then executes a set of migration operations such that the second set of services is configured to execute as the first set of services. The computing device may operate in a virtual bootstrap environment or dedicated region of the cloud computing environment.
