Containerized to Managed Ansible Automation Platform migration prerequisites

Before migrating from a container-based deployment to a Managed Ansible Automation Platform deployment, ensure that you meet the following prerequisites:

• You have a source container-based deployment of Ansible Automation Platform.
• The source deployment is on the latest release of the Ansible Automation Platform version you are on.
• You have a target Managed Ansible Automation Platform deployment.
• You have enabled local authentication on the source deployment before the migration.
• A local administrator account must be functional on the source deployment before migration. Verify this by performing a successful login to the source deployment.
• You have a plan to retain a backup throughout the migration process and to ensure that your existing Ansible Automation Platform deployment remains active until your migration has completed successfully.
• You have a plan for any environment changes based on the migration from a self-hosted Ansible Automation Platform deployment to a Managed Ansible Automation Platform deployment:
  • Job log retention changes from a customer-configured option to 30 days.
  • Network changes occur when moving the control plane to the managed service.
  • Automation mesh requires reconfiguration.
• You must reconfigure or re-create Single Sign-On (SSO) identity providers post-migration to account for URL changes.
