What is expected of me/my team?
Your team will need to provide access to current data, coordinate with migration specialists, and perform validation checks post-migration to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Reconfiguration may be necessary for certain workflows, such as advanced caching rules or security settings. However, for most standard content delivery setups, minimal reconfiguration is required.
