Auto time optimization for migration of applications

Abstract

Embodiments described herein relate to methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable mediums storing instructions for creating and executing migration workflows to replicate or migrate data from one device or set of devices to another device or set of devices. In one or more embodiments, migrations involve obtaining relationship information with regards to the applications that will be migrated from one device to another device or set of devices. This relationship information is used to determine which applications and/or other system resources are affected by the migration, including those applications/system resources that are not being migrated. The migrations are performed in such a way to minimize inconvenience to the end users, by having the migration take place at a time when both the application being migrated, and related applications have reduced usage or idle time.
