# DatacenterConnector

DatacenterConnector in Google Cloud is a component used to connect on-premises environments with Google Cloud for migration purposes. It enables communication between local workloads and Google's migration services, allowing data and virtual machines to be discovered, replicated, and moved to the cloud securely.
