A cloud-based migration system exposes a source-independent application programming interface for receiving data to be migrated. The data is uploaded and stored as a single entity in a cloud-based storage system. A migration system then accesses the migration package and begins migrating the data to its destination, from the cloud-based storage system.

Data migration to a cloud computing system

Various systems and methods for provisioning migration containers are disclosed. A system includes a memory and a processor to generate a migration container and migration metadata. The migration container can store data verified as encrypted with an encryption key and the migration metadata can include a lifespan value indicating a time limit for the migration container. In an example, the system can, in response to a request from a user device, provide the encryption key and a migration container path corresponding to a location of the migration container to the user device. In an example, the system can store data in the migration container in response to detecting the data from the user device via the migration container path. The system can migrate the data in the migration container to a server, and delete the migration container in response to the time limit of the lifespan value being exceeded.
