Check your apps are all compatible first, and if they are, apply a DC licence to it.

Probably.  Depends on what your server looks like, what its running on and if the AWS server you create for it is the same OS etc.  If they're close enough, you may be able to simply copy up the installation and home directory, and restore the database into an AWS db from the current one. 

A cleaner and safer way to do it would be to install Server or DC on the AWS machine, get that working with an empty database, stop it and then copy up the attachments and database from source, restart it, run a full re-index and tidy up any changed integrations.  Have a look through the docs for a standard install of Server for this, you just need to add "and the data move" at the end.

Hi Pandey .

As for the resource you can follow this link for a datacenter migration to AWS infra

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-use-the-data-center-migration-app-to-migrate-jira-to-an-aws-cluster-1005781495.html 

For a Single node datacenter migration you can have a look at this link

Hi Faisal, 

Thanks for the response but both link provided by are not relevant to my use case as  both are  for Jira Datacenter into a cluster. 

in my case i have Jira server on VMWARE and i need to either  -

 1-update/Migrate our Source Jira Server(Hosted on VMWARE) into a signal node Jira Datacenter without changing the hardware/platform, if yes then what will be step for the same 

      or

2-  migrate our source Jira server  to single node Data center on AWS, if yes then what  will be step and procedure for the same 

if you have any solution for this scenario please suggest.

Maybe this could help with the plan and all the things . but if you are gng for single non- clustered migration 

> check the add-on compatability

> change the licence key .

and as for to migrate to AWS infra there is tool which will help you to do so . 

mentioned in my previous reply .

Hi Faisal, this are basic documents and c't help to prepare roadmap for my case, and AWS  DC link shared by you for Jira  DC migration APP which help to migrate Jira server into   AWS -JIRA cluster with ASI and in HA, cluster means it will create multiple EC2 in multiple availability zone with Autoscaling .along with multi AZ Database with baston host , and all infra will be pointed behind ALB,  it will cost much then singal node.this APP  will not migrate  to single AWS EC2 and single  DB,  please check ask and your link  before share .

thanks for your time
