Environment Export/Import: How To Migrate Application between Clouds
Apiqcloud provides you an excellent feature of Environment Export and Import, by which you are able to migrate hosted applications across available Apiqcloud installations (i.e. hosting provider platforms). In this way, you can switch to the most suitable Apiqcloud platform according to your current preferences (e.g. due to platform versions differentiation or pricing systems distinctions) at any time.
To perform this, you require:- Export your environment from Apiqcloud installation it is currently hosted at
-
Import it to the preferred target platform
Note:
- For the Environment Export / Import feature to work properly, the initial hosting provider’s platform should have the 7979 port opened, which is designed to be used for downloading environment source files during the import operation. Thus, depending on a particular provider’s configurations exported environments from some of our partners’ platforms (Elastx, Every data, Under and Locaweb in particular) may be not available for importing at other Apiqcloud installations.
- You can also use the Environment Transferring option for moving your projects between different accounts of a single hosting provider platform, without the necessity to export/import them.
