Overview

This section provides a comprehensive set of steps for migrating a K3s cluster from one virtual machine to another. Migration is a critical operation that enables hardware upgrades, disaster recovery, infrastructure changes, and geographical relocation while preserving all application data and configurations.

Our product's architecture relies on three core data stores: Consul for service discovery and configuration, Elasticsearch for search and analytics, and PostgreSQL for structured data. A successful migration requires careful backup and restoration of all three components to ensure complete data integrity and system functionality.
