# Prepare for migration
<a name="prepare-for-migration"></a>

Use this section before you submit a workflow. It moves from architecture to planning to deployment so you can make the main decisions once, then use those decisions in the migration workflow.
+  [Architecture](architecture.md) - understand the deployed components and how data moves from the source cluster to the target.
+  [Plan your deployment](plan-your-deployment.md) - assess source and target compatibility, estimate cost, review security, and prepare for quotas.
+  [Deploy the solution](deploy-the-solution.md) - deploy Migration Assistant on Amazon EKS and access the Migration Console.
