🧨 [WARNING]
🧨 CM-ANT is currently under development.
🧨 So, we do not recommend using the current release in production.
🧨 Please note that the functionalities of CM-ANT are not stable and secure yet.
🧨 If you have any difficulties in using CM-ANT, please let us know.

The Cloud Migration Validation Framework is designed to validate the performance, pricing, and cost-effectiveness before and after the cloud migration process (hereafter referred to as migration).
It provides two main categories of functionality:
- Predication of cloud infrastructure transtion pricing and validation of resource usage cost.
- On-demand performance evaluation and validation of the target cloud infrastructure.
This feature provides:
- Price information for the recommended or targeted infrastructure specifications before the migration begins.
- Operational cost information for specific CSPs (Cloud Service Providers).
- Predicted cost information.
This feature provides:
- Performance evaluation of applications operating on the migrated infrastructure.
- Performance validation information based on the evaluation results.
These functionalities are integrated with other subsystems, namely CB-Tumblebug and CB-Spider, to function properly. Therefore, for CM-ANT to operate correctly, the related subsystems must be running on the same environment.
- OS: Ubuntu 22.04
- Language: Go 1.23.0
- Container: Docker 25.0.0
- CB-Spider : v0.9.0 <- cost explorer anycall handler not yet implemented version.
- CB-Tumblebug : v0.9.7

To fully utilize all the features offered by CM-ANT, you need to use functionalities provided by various subsystems.
This means that there is a dependency on other subsystems, and proper user configuration is required to correctly use the features provided by these subsystems.
In CM-ANT, it is necessary to register user credentials for each CSP. Registered user's CSP credentials are used for tasks such as provisioning virtual machines in a remote environment during performance evaluations, or for retrieving price or cost information from CSP.
Among the subsystems used by CM-ANT, CB-TUMBLEBUG provides a user-friendly process for registering and storing multi-cloud information. It is recommended to register user credentials using the credential registration method provided by CB-TUMBLEBUG.
Follow the guide for initializing CB-Tumblebug to configure multi-cloud information.
To correctly use the performance evaluation features provided by CM-ANT, the following steps are required:
- Register appropriate permissions for VM provisioning with the registered credentials. [TBD]
To correctly use the price and cost features provided by CM-ANT, the following steps are required:
- Enable AWS Cost Explorer and set up daily granularity resource-level data.
- Register appropriate permissions for price and cost retrieval with the registered credentials. [TBD]
- Open the Cost Explorer page in the AWS Management Console.
- If Cost Explorer is already enabled, you can view the cost information used.
- If Cost Explorer is not enabled, select "Launch Cost Explorer" on the Cost Explorer start page.
- Navigate to the enabled Cost Explorer page.
- In the left navigation pane, go to the Preferences & Settings > Cost Management Preferences tab.
- On the central screen, go to the tab labeled Cost Explorer.
- Check the box for Detailed Data > Daily granularity resource-level data.
- Select the services for resource-level identification provided by CM-ANT.
- Cost Explorer, EC2-Others, EC2-Instance, VPC, Tax
