# Migrate objects

> Move data into Nubis Storage carefully so applications, permissions, and naming stay stable.

## Object migration is mostly about consistency

Moving object data successfully is not just copying files. It also means preserving the right names, metadata, privacy model, retention behavior, and application references.

## Recommended migration flow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the target bucket structure">
    Decide which buckets should exist on Nubis and how you want naming, regions, and access models to work after migration.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Dry-run the transfer tool">
    Test your sync path on a subset of data first so naming, metadata, and access expectations are verified.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Move objects in phases">
    Start with non-critical data or a replica bucket before you move traffic-sensitive production objects.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Validate reads and writes">
    Confirm applications can upload, fetch, and authorize access exactly as expected.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Cut over and monitor">
    Switch application configuration only when the target bucket is complete and tested.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Things teams often miss

* Bucket policies and key scopes
* Object metadata such as cache headers and content types
* Presigned URL behavior
* Lifecycle and retention rules
* Application-side endpoint configuration
