How to Migrate from Vault Open Source to Vault Enterprise
summary
Shows a concrete path that moves a Vault OSS cluster using DynamoDB into Vault Enterprise by running vault operator migrate with a migrate.hcl targetting integrated storage (raft), then enabling DR replication into a Vault Enterprise node auto‑unsealed by AWS CloudHSM. Demonstrates preserving unseal/recovery keys, root token, auth methods, ACL policies, transit decryption, PKI cert issuance and dynamic DB creds, performs backup of DynamoDB, fails over the DR secondary and verifies everything works.
