# VM Migration Image Import

VM Migration Image Import in Google Cloud is a service that helps migrate virtual machine images from on-premises or other cloud environments into Google Cloud. It automates the process of importing, converting, and preparing images for use as Compute Engine instances, ensuring compatibility and reducing manual effort during migration.
