Migration Assistant for Amazon OpenSearch Service now includes an [AI-assisted experience](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/solutions/latest/migration-assistant-for-amazon-opensearch-service/agent-assisted-migration.html) that simplifies moving your self-managed Apache Solr, Elasticsearch, or OpenSearch deployments to OpenSearch Serverless or Managed Clusters. With the new assistant, you can use your preferred AI tools like Kiro, Claude Code, and others to plan a migration, deploy necessary infrastructure, and execute both historical and live traffic migration. Migrations are often complex and require weeks of planning before any data movement can begin and even then, the process can be error-prone. We launched Migration Assistant in December 2023 to simplify migrating existing and live data from self-managed clusters to Amazon OpenSearch Service by automating manual migration tasks. The new AI-assisted experience takes this further: it provides an agent-guided workflow that helps you structure, execute, and validate your data migration faster and more reliably. Additionally, Migration Assistant for Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports live traffic capture and replay for Solr. To get started, see [Migration Assistant documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/solutions/migration-assistant-for-amazon-opensearch-service/). Migration Assistant supports migrations to OpenSearch Serverless and Managed Clusters from various Solr, Elasticsearch, and OpenSearch versions. For more details about the versions supported, see the [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/solutions/latest/migration-assistant-for-amazon-opensearch-service/solution-overview.html). Migration Assistant is available in all commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Amazon OpenSearch Service is available.
