Migrate from Grafana OSS/Enterprise to Grafana Cloud
When you decide to migrate from your self-managed Grafana instance to Grafana Cloud, you can benefit from the convenience of a managed observability platform, additional cloud-only features, and robust security. There are a couple of key approaches to help you transition to Grafana Cloud.
Our detailed migration guide explains the key steps and scripts to manually migrate your resources to Grafana Cloud, covering a comprehensive set of resources in your Grafana instance. Alternatively, the Grafana Cloud Migration Assistant, available in public preview in Grafana v11.2 and later, automates the migration process across a broad range of Grafana resources. You can use the migration assistant to migrate a large proportion of your Grafana resources and then, if needed, leverage the migration guide to migrate the rest.
