Hello @Santhya, welcome to microsoft Q&A,Thankyou for posting your query here. Velero is a backup and restore tool for Kubernetes clusters that can be used to migrate workloads between clusters. Here are the general steps to use Velero for migration. Install Velero on both the source and destination clusters. You can follow the instructions in the Azure documentation to install Velero on AKS clusters. https://velero.io/docs/v1.7/basic-install/ Create a backup of the workloads on the source cluster using Velero. You can use the following command to create a backup: velero backup create <name of backup> --include-namespaces=<namespace pf workloads> --selector= <label-selector that matches backup> Copy the backup to the destination cluster. You can use Azure Blob Storage to store the backup and copy it to the destination cluster. Restore the backup on the destination cluster using Velero. You can use the following command to restore the backup: velero restore create --from-backup <name of backup you want to restore> Verify that the workloads are running correctly on the destination cluster. You can use kubectl to check the status of the workloads on the destination cluster.
