Techniques are provided for migrating a volume utilizing an object copy work queue and an object copy driver module. Data of the volume is stored within objects stored across a storage tier and capacity tier of a source object store. As part of migrating the volume to a destination object store, the objects are migrated to the destination cluster. Directly copying the objects involves multiple read operations to the source object store and a write operation at the destination object store. The techniques provided herein improve the efficiency of the migration by initially sending metadata from the source object store to the destination object store for performing backend object copy operations to migrate the volume. This results in fewer operations and less network usage, thus improving the efficiency and cost of migrating the volume.
