If your apps do not function properly, you can easily roll back. With Migrate to Virtual Machines, you have a suite of features that help you automate, simplify, and accelerate the migration process. Migrate to VMs is free to use for customers migrating to Google Cloud. Standard billing rates apply for all other Google Cloud products (such as [Compute Engine](/compute/all-pricing) or [Storage](/storage/pricing)) used or consumed during or after the migration. For example, if you use Compute Engine VMs to deploy Migrate to VMs, you'll need to pay for those instance hours. For more detailed pricing information, see [Migrate to VMs pricing](/migrate/compute-engine/pricing). | **Pro Tip:** This method is ideal for | moving a large number of workloads. |\n| VM instances (in OVA or OVF format) | [Importing virtual appliances](/compute/docs/import/import-ovf-files) | Importing virtual appliances.
