GitHub user DRDAVIDBANNER edited a comment on the discussion: Migration from 
Nutanix AHV to CloudStack KVM

This may be worth testing for the AHV → CloudStack/KVM migration you’re working 
on:

[Sendense Nutanix](https://sendense.com/integrations/nutanix) [Cross platform 
migration](https://sendense.com/solutions/backup-replication)

Sendense integrates with Nutanix AHV through Prism and can protect workloads at 
the VM level, then recover them onto Apache CloudStack/KVM. That gives you a 
possible migration path without having to build and maintain a custom bulk 
export/conversion workflow from AHV. You've also got the option of direct 
replication  and migration from Nutanix to Cloudstack, and can even provide a 
DRaaS solution from Nutanix <> Cloudstack

For a POC, I’d suggest selecting a small set of representative VMs — different 
disk sizes, BIOS/UEFI, multi-NIC, Windows/Linux and higher-change workloads — 
then validating:

* backup/replication from AHV through Prism
* recovery into CloudStack/KVM
* disk and boot compatibility
* NIC/network mapping
* application consistency
* recovery time and cutover process

A POC is available if you want to test the workflow against your existing 
Nutanix and CloudStack environments before deciding on the bulk migration 
approach.

Full disclosure: I’m involved with Sendense, but this is exactly the kind of 
Nutanix → CloudStack migration scenario the integration is designed for.
