    Abstract: The present technology is directed to an automated end to end network migration process from on-premise to cloud-based management platforms and visa-versa. The disclosed technology describes an enhanced plug and play (PnP) software agent operationally coupled to a device and capable of interacting with a PnP service hosted on a target management platform to thereby initiate the migration process. The PnP service on the target management platform upon receiving a migration request from the device PnP agent, maps the requesting device onto a client profile existing on the target management platform and identifies therefrom the associated default controller for the device. Subsequently, the device is directed to acquire and boot up on a new software image compatible with the target management platform and following a conversion of its existing configuration into a version compatible with the new software image, the device is migrated to the associated default controller.
