Migration Plugin

Motivation¶

Users run the migration task multiple times upfront, so the switchover to Pulp 3 happens quickly, within few minutes. Switchover = stop pulp 2 services, run migration for the last time, start using pulp3.

Existing concerns and thoughts¶

• Following the same code path as normal migration when no changes have been made in pulp 2 takes a noticeable amount of time. We might need to introduce some shortcuts for the case when nothing has been changed in pulp 2.
• Same goes to the case when only very few changes have been made.
• If everything possible is done and no shortcuts are available we might need to look at the performance of the longest steps or rethink the approach.
