1. A method for migrating information in a cloud computing environment, comprising:
- identifying, automatically, data and an existing location of the data that is associated with a workload being migrated into a cloud network, wherein the data is stored at the existing location on a computer system;
extracting, automatically, the data from the computer system; and
storing the data in the cloud network, wherein the data that is stored in the cloud network is associated with the workload migrated into the cloud network.

Abstract
A data migration tool can automatically locate or discover data that is being used by, or associated with, workloads being re-located to or within a cloud network. The data migration tool can automatically initiate the transport of that data to the cloud, and store the data in the cloud so that it is associated with the migrated workloads.
