Analyze the timeline and scope of your migration
(Effort: 1 days)
The first step in migrating to GitHub Enterprise Cloud is to analyze the timeline and scope of your migration. We will help you understand the complexity of the migration and the resources required to complete it. We will ask all the necessary questions and help you find the right answers for your organization.
- How soon do we need to complete the migration?
- Do we understand what will be migrated?
- Who will run the migration?
- What organizational structure do we want in GitHub?
Design and setup your GitHub Enterprise Cloud account
(Effort: 4 to 8 days)
Our experts will walk you through the entire process of setting up your GitHub Enterprise account. This includes everything from basic setup and security basics to configuring a scalable organization structure, implementing private action runners, and automating maintenance and compliance. Upon completion, you will have a fully functional GitHub Enterprise Cloud account ready to migrate all your Git repositories and pipelines.
Prepare and dry run the migration
(Effort: Iterative approach by team)
Once your GitHub Enterprise Cloud account is set up, it is time to prepare and dry run the migration. PRODYNA suggests an iterative approach per team. To help with this process, we rely on tools like GitHub Enterprise Importer or GitHub Actions Importer to speed up the process. Our experienced consultants can help you prepare and perform a dry run migration to ensure a smooth transition. In parallel, we will help you to prepare your team for the migration. As a GitHub partner, our consultants are accredited to provide all relevant high-quality GitHub Expert Services to ensure a smooth transition.
Write your migration playbook
(Effort: 1 – 3 days with refinements after each iteration)
With the dry run migration completed, it is time to write your migration playbook. This playbook will contain all the necessary steps to perform the migration, including the order of migration, the tools and scripts to be used, and the expected outcomes. We will help you write this playbook and ensure that it is comprehensive and easy to follow.
Run your production migration
(Effort: Iterative approach by team)
With the migration playbook in hand, it is time to run your production migration. Our consultants will be there to guide you through the process, answer any questions, and help you overcome any challenges that may arise. We will ensure that the migration is completed successfully and that your teams are up and running on GitHub Enterprise Cloud in no time.
