You can use {% data variables.product.github %}'s migration tools to move between {% data variables.product.github %} platforms. For example: * If you want to adopt {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency %}, you can migrate your enterprise to {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_site %}. * To use certain features on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, such as {% data variables.product.prodname_emus %} or new billing models, you can migrate between enterprises on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}. * To benefit from the simplified administration and new features of {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}, you can migrate from {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}. Considerations for migrations to {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} * If you already use {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} : A {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} plan entitles you to only one deployment of {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}. For example, if you already use {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, and you also want to migrate from {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} to {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_site %}, your usage for both won't be covered under a single plan. * If you're migrating to {% data variables.product.prodname_emus %} : You will need to integrate with an identity provider to manage user accounts. Check the level of support for your identity provider before you start. See AUTOTITLE . * If you're migrating from {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} : Be aware that {% data variables.product.company_short %} applies rate limits to certain actions, which are disabled by default on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}. See AUTOTITLE . * If you're migrating to {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency %} : Be aware that certain features are unavailable, and some features require different or additional configuration.
