Migrate Docker & Compose

# Bring the application you already run.

Plan a move from Docker or Compose into Ankra-managed Kubernetes, including its configuration and database data.

[Start with Ankra](https://platform.ankra.app/auth/signup)  [Read the guide](https://docs.ankra.ai/guides/migrate-from-docker)

For teams moving existing services onto kubernetes

The work to take off your team

## Moving containers is only part of moving an application.

Ankra migration starts with a plan, converts the workload into a stack and follows data transfers through a backup vault. The target needs to be verified before traffic moves.

With Ankra

### A reviewed migration path with data and cutover included.

Inspect and plan  Prepare the target  Carry the data  Verify and cut over

A practical path

## How this works with Ankra.

1. 01

  ### Inspect and plan

  Read the Compose configuration, Dockerfile or running Docker deployment and review the migration plan.
2. 02

  ### Prepare the target

  Convert the workload into a stack and deploy it to the chosen cluster.
3. 03

  ### Carry the data

  Use a verified backup vault to transfer supported database dumps into the target services.
4. 04

  ### Verify and cut over

  Test the application and data before switching traffic and retiring the original deployment.

The platform behind the workflow

## The pieces, already connected.

[### Migration Bring Docker and Compose workloads into Kubernetes, or move a stack to another cluster with a deliberate data and cutover plan.](https://ankra.ai/features#migration)

[### Databases & platform services Deploy open source PostgreSQL, caches, monitoring, storage and private AI gateways, with agents helping investigate and operate the stack.](https://ankra.ai/features#services)

[### Backup vaults & restore points Register S3-compatible vaults, protect stack data on a schedule and follow restore points with explicit coverage.](https://ankra.ai/features#backups)

What comes next?

## Keep building from here.

[Grow & move ### Multi-cloud & private infrastructure Use one operational platform across public clouds, managed Kubernetes and private servers.](https://ankra.ai/use-cases/multi-cloud)

[Build & ship ### Applications and their services Run PostgreSQL, caches, monitoring and other platform services alongside the applications that use them.](https://ankra.ai/use-cases/databases-and-services)

[Build & ship ### Ship your application Connect a repository and get a path from code to a running application on infrastructure you control.](https://ankra.ai/use-cases/ship-your-app)
