What to expect

What to prepare

To prepare for the migration, you need to assess your current infrastructure and data. Consider factors such as the size of your instance, the number of users, and the complexity of your environment. Ensure that your hardware and software meet the minimum requirements for the target platform.

How to execute

The migration process involves several steps, including testing and validating the migration, transferring data and configuration, and configuring the new environment. It’s essential to follow best practices for each step to minimize disruption to your users and ensure a successful migration.
