Migrate Between Clusters

Zilliz Cloud supports migrating data between Zilliz Cloud clusters. You can seamlessly transfer data from a serverless cluster to a dedicated cluster or between two dedicated clusters.

From dedicated cluster to serverless cluster​

To experience the new Serverless cluster, consider transitioning your business from a dedicated cluster to a serverless cluster.

📘Notes

Ensure your payment method is set up to access this feature.

Navigate to the dedicated cluster to migration. Switch to Migrations tab. In the Migrate drop-down button, select Migrate to a New Serverless Cluster.

On the page that opens,

  • Select the Serverless plan and Target Project,

  • Enter the Cluster Name.

migrate-from-dedicated-to-serverless

After filling out the details, click Migrate. Zilliz Cloud will then create a a new serverless cluster with the specified settings, initiating the data migration from the dedicated cluster.

The serverless cluster status will switch from CREATING to RESTORING, and finally to RUNNING. Upon completion, you can connect to the new serverless cluster and access the migrated data. See Connect to Cluster for further details.

From dedicated to another dedicated cluster​

By migrating between dedicated clusters, you can modify your cluster type, region, and scale down your cluster at ease, without interrupting your business on the original cluster.
