## Create a migration policy

To create a migration policy:

              Note

              

- To create a migration policy, you must have a target bucket created to store the migrated data. Before creating a migration policy, apply for Object Storage usage and create a bucket. For more details, see the [Object Storage user guide](/docs/en/storage-storage-6-1).
- Data migration between buckets on the NAVER Cloud Platform is not supported.

1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to **Menu** > **All Services** > **Migration** > **Object Migration**.
2. Click **[Request migration]**.
3. When the Request migration policy popup appears, enter the policy name.
  - **Policy name**: The basis for managing migration policies. Must be within 100 characters.
    - Special characters other than '., -, _' cannot be used.
4. Enter origin information.
  - **Origin**: Select the data's original location
    - Currently, only AWS and AZURE are supported ('23.6.15)
    - Selecting **AWS**
      - **Region**: Enter AWS region information
        - Example: us-east-2, ap-northeast-2, etc.
      - **Bucket**: Enter the name of the bucket where the data is stored
      - **Prefix**: Enter if you want to move only a specific group of files
        - Move only specific groups of files based on detailed paths and prefixes, including folders
        - If not entered, all data stored in the bucket will be migrated
      - **Access Key**: Enter the Access Key required to access the AWS bucket
      - **Security Key**: Enter the Security Key required to access the AWS bucket
    - Selecting **AZURE**
      - **Container name**: Enter the Azure container name
      - **Prefix**: Enter if you want to move only a specific group of files
        - Move only specific groups of files based on detailed paths and prefixes, including folders
        - If not entered, all data in the storage will be migrated
      - **Storage account name**: Enter the Azure storage account name
      - **Access Key**: Enter the Access Key to access the container in Azure
5. Enter target information.
  - **Bucket**: Select the target bucket to store the migrated data
    - Click **[Create Bucket]** to move to the bucket creation interface (See [Create a new bucket](/docs/en/objectstorage-start#%EC%83%88%EB%B2%84%ED%82%B7%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1))
  - **Prefix**: Enter if you want to migrate data to a detailed path
  - **Data cannot be migrated to a KMS bucket.**
6. Click **[OK]**.
  - The migration policy is created and added to the list.

## Edit a migration policy

To edit a migration policy:

              Note

              

1. The cloud environment where the original data is located and the target bucket cannot be edited.
2. Migration policies can be edited in the following cases:

- After the migration policy has been created but before migration starts
- If an error occurs in the migration policy and the policy cannot be used
- If migration has been completed
- If migration has been stopped

1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to **Menu** > **All Services** > **Migration** > **Object Migration**.
2. From the list of migration policies, click to select the migration policy you want to edit.
3. Click **[Edit]**.
4. When the Request migration policy popup appears, apply the changes you wish to make.
  - For a detailed description of each item, see [Create a migration policy](/docs/en/objectmigration-use#%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%B4%EA%B7%B8%EB%A0%88%EC%9D%B4%EC%85%98%EC%A0%95%EC%B1%85%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1).
5. Click **[OK]**.

## Delete a migration policy

To delete a migration policy:

              Note

              

Migration policies can be deleted in the following cases:

- After the migration policy has been created but before migration starts
- If an error occurs in the migration policy and the policy cannot be used
- If migration has been completed

1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to **Menu** > **All Services** > **Migration** > **Object Migration**.
2. From the list of migration policies, click to select the migration policy you want to delete.
