Dear Support Team,
DSpace I hope this email finds you well. As part of our ongoing efforts to modernize and enhance the reliability, scalability, and performance of our IT infrastructure, the ITS Department is planning to *migrate on-premises servers to the Microsoft Azure Cloud*. Accordingly, our team is responsible for managing the *DSpace System (Release 6.3)*, which is currently hosted on the following on-premise server: *DSpace Production Server:* - Hostname : qspace.edu.qa - IP Address : 185.37.108.150 - URL : https://qspace.qu.edu.qa - *Migration Plan Overview* We will be using a *“lift and shift”* approach, where the existing virtual servers will be moved to Azure with minimal changes. The key details of the migration plan are as follows: - The *only expected change* from our perspective will be the *server IP address*, which will be updated as part of the migration. - The ITS team will handle all *infrastructure-level configurations*, including the new IP setup, firewall rules, and connectivity. - The *application will remain operational on-premises* during the testing and validation phase in Azure to avoid any disruption to your service. - *Testing and Cutover* - Once the server is successfully migrated and *all services are validated* in the Azure environment, we will coordinate with your team to agree on a *mutually acceptable cutover window*. - Only after your approval and successful testing, the *application will go live from the Microsoft Azure environment*. - *Action Required from Your Side* - If the *application requires changes* due to the new IP address (e.g., hardcoded IPs, configuration, integrations), it will be the *responsibility of the application owner or vendor* *support* to implement those changes. - Also, if necessary, please to: - Confirm whether the application (*DSpace 6.3*) is fully compatible with the *Microsoft Azure* environment. - - Identify and communicate any dependencies, prerequisites, or constraints that may impact the migration process. Your prompt response will help ensure a smooth and efficient transition. Please let us know if you need any further details or clarification. -- All messages to this mailing list should adhere to the Code of Conduct: https://www.lyrasis.org/about/Pages/Code-of-Conduct.aspx --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
