Automatic Migration
Use this page to configure and operate automatic migration workflows through Akeyless Gateway.
What Automatic Migration Does
Automatic migration helps move supported assets from external systems into Akeyless with less manual effort.
Typical workflows include:
- Defining source connection settings.
- Running migration commands.
- Validating migrated items and access behavior.
Prerequisites
Before running migration workflows:
- Deploy and register Akeyless Gateway.
- Configure Gateway authentication and access permissions.
- Validate network connectivity from Gateway to source systems and Akeyless services.
- Prepare destination paths and required encryption settings.
Configuration Scope
Automatic migration configuration usually includes:
- Source system connection parameters.
- Authentication credentials or identity settings.
- Migration mode and target path strategy.
- Conflict handling behavior for existing items.
Operational Guidance
Use a phased rollout:
- Start with a limited migration scope in a non-production environment.
- Validate resulting items, permissions, and application integration.
- Expand migration scope after successful validation.
- Monitor Gateway logs during migration and remediation.
Security Guidance
- Use least-privilege credentials for source access.
- Avoid broad admin permissions when migration-specific permissions are sufficient.
- Rotate temporary migration credentials after the migration window closes.
