    Hi everyone,

    We are currently facing a challenge with migrating our calls from Docker version 269 to k3s. Has anyone dealt with this before?

    Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hi Piper,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    We have documented the migration path for configurations (no historical data) from the Self-Hosted Classic Edition (AKA Docker) to the Standard Edition. You can find it here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/instana-observability/current?topic=edition-migrating-data

    In the prerequisites is specified you need to be on Docker version 271, so you can use the migration commands.

    For the calls, you can connect the agents to a secondary backend and run both in parallel for some time, I have customers that ran that setup around 7 days..., and then just have the agents connected to the new backend only.

    Thank you all for the responses.

    I was hoping there was a way to transfer historical data.

    Israel, the scenario you described is to prevent data loss during the migration process or to compare the results of both instances?

    This is to prevent data loss during migration, you have the same data on both places during X amount of time,  depending on how long you run both backends.

    That makes sense, but on the other hand, the Docker instance is not turned off during the migration; instead, master data is extracted from PostgreSQL data store.

    Well, thanks - post can be closed.
