Preparing for Migration

Registering a Target Cloud Account and Obtaining an AK/SK Pair

• Register a target cloud account.
• Assign the required permissions to the account used for migration.
  • If you use an administrator account for migration, you have the required migration permissions by default. You can skip this step.
  • If you use an IAM user for migration, contact the administrator for authorization.
    • If the IAM user needs all SMS permissions, the administrator can create a user group, add the IAM user to the group and attach the following system-defined policies to the group on the IAM console: SMS FullAccess, OBS OperateAccess, ECS FullAccess, and VPC FullAccess.
    • If the IAM user only needs specific SMS permissions, the administrator needs to create a user group on the IAM console, assign custom policies to the user group, and add the IAM user to the user group.
• Obtain an AK/SK pair for the account used for migration.

  The AK/SK pair is required for authentication during the migration. Obtain an AK/SK pair for the migration account on the IAM console.
