Claim 6:
7. A method to migrate a local file system to a cloud-based object store associated with a cloud-based storage service provider, comprising:
associating portions of the local file system to a cluster of instances of a migration tool; and
executing the instances of the migration tool to migrate the portions of the local file system to the cloud-based object store;
wherein executing an instance of the migration tool migrates a subtree of the portion by:
retrieving directories and files of the subtree and packing information therein according to a data format associated with the cloud-based object store to create packed data;
uploading the packed data to the cloud-based object store, the packed data having an associated handle, the handle representing a directory manifest for a root of migrated data of the subtree, wherein the root is associated with a versioned filesystem;
receiving data identifying a volume and a location therein at which the root is to be stitched into the volume; and
linking the subtree at the location to complete a direct-to-cloud migration of the subtree.
