Migration tool for local managed to cloud managed firewalls

I have a lot of locally managed Fireboxes to migrate to WatchGuard Cloud Managed Fireboxes. On my test environment when I do this I loose all firewall rules and get myself a Firebox that basically has been reset. Will there be a way in the near future to be able to copy the existant firewall rules into the cloud managed firewall?

    Doubtful, since there are features in locally managed firewalls which are not available now and some which do not planned to be available ever.

    Review this for details of the above:

    You can have a locally managed firewall become managed by WG Cloud, but this is different management type.
    There are too many WG things called "cloud" which are different - such as 2 AP solutions via a different way for each type, 2 firewall mgt types called cloud.

    Ok, thank you for your comment Bruce. I will have to "rethink" my strategy then.
