The process of migration involves taking a snapshot of the data in the self-managed Elastic stack, saving that snapshot to an Azure Blob Storage Container, and then restoring the snapshot to your Elastic Cloud deployment. Here’s a guided tour of all the steps to accomplish this right within your browser.
While the migration process covered in this blog post migrates an Elastic stack search index as an example, this same process will migrate the entire self-managed Elastic stack’s contents, which means that Observability and Security data will also be included in the Elastic Cloud deployment where the snapshot is restored. One final important point is if your self-managed Elastic stack includes real-time data ingestion, be sure and update any data collectors like Elastic integrations or agents installed on your external resources (VMs, etc.) so that they point to your new Elastic Cloud deployment.
