• AI-Augmented Move Group & Wave Planning - GA Release - Jan 19, 2026

  • Cloudamize Knowledge Base

  • AI-Augmented Move Group & Wave Planning is a new capability in Cloudamize that simplifies and accelerates cloud migration planning.

    The feature combines Cloudamize’s proven mathematical dependency model with AI-driven validation and adjustment to automatically create migration move groups and support wave planning.

    In simple terms, Cloudamize determines what should move together using deterministic dependency algorithms, and AI then validates, refines, and explains those groupings to make them migration-ready and easy to trust.

  • Key Features and Benefits

    • Intelligent Move Groups: Automatically organizes complex infrastructure into logical units that must migrate together to maintain application integrity.

    • Simplified Wave Planning: Accelerates the creation of migration waves, allowing teams to move from raw discovery data to a structured timeline at scale.

    • Transparent Explanations: The AI-augmented engine provides context for why certain assets are grouped, reducing the manual effort required for human verification.

    • Risk Mitigation: By leveraging both mathematical models and AI validation, the platform eliminates the risks of "orphaned" dependencies and post-migration connectivity failures.
