I'm exploring AWS Migration Factory for a significant deployment, but I have a question regarding its usage. When it comes to deploying test and cutover servers, does that process utilize CloudFormation? We primarily work with Terraform, and I realize AWS likely doesn't leverage it. However, I'm curious if it's feasible to deploy instances without using CloudFormation first, allowing us to import them later. Is there a more effective method for deploying instances transitioned using AWS Migration Glass?

We actually use MGN along with Terraform on a big scale. A good approach is to set up the launch template in MGN to reflect your Terraform stack, then you can import everything back into Terraform after the cutover. Automating the whole end-to-end process is definitely the way to go! By the way, I've noticed that Migration Factory is slowly being phased out in favor of Migration Hub and MGN, so I wouldn't count on it for the long run.
Yep, it all funnels into Migration Hub now for the most part.
