Replicate phase. Step 7: Full or incremental snapshots are captured and uploaded from the source environments to OCI Object Storage and then converted to OCI Block Volumes. Launch phase. Step 8: Execution plans are generated as Terraform code. Step 9: Deploy and launch migrated assets leveraging OCI Resource Manager.
