Assisted Migration Framework with IBM Bob

This project enhances IBM Bob with specialized skills and custom operating modes that enable it to orchestrate and execute complex technical migrations with precision, automation, and intelligence. Leveraging the 7Rs Migration Framework, Bob analyzes an organization’s current systems, architecture, dependencies, and business requirements to recommend the most suitable migration strategy, including rehost, replatform, repurchase, refactor/re-architect, retire, retain, or relocate. Beyond strategy selection, Bob supports the entire migration lifecycle by producing detailed migration designs and implementation plans, performing dependency mapping, impact and risk analysis, resource and timeline estimation, rollback preparation, and technical documentation generation. During execution, Bob automates migration activities such as code transformation and refactoring, configuration and environment updates, dependency upgrades, infrastructure provisioning through Infrastructure as Code, and deployment automation integrated with CI/CD pipelines. To ensure migration quality and reliability, Bob also handles validation through automated testing, security and code quality analysis, performance benchmarking, data integrity verification, and functional and integration testing. After deployment, Bob continues to provide hypercare support with real-time monitoring, alerting, performance optimization recommendations, issue detection and resolution guidance, knowledge transfer, documentation maintenance, and continuous improvement insights to help teams stabilize and optimize their modernized platforms.
