Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for enabling the migration of data with minimized impact on consumers of the data. A data migration agent updates pointers to active data locations and coordinates a migration from a first data resource to a second data resource so that seamless migration may be carried out. A data access layer of a distributed computing environment can take advantage of the pointers and metadata written by the data migration agent to serve requests to resources of the distributed computing environment so that read availability is available regardless of migration status.
