Currently our FreeIPA is running as a container on a virtual machine

Cloudstack, As part of this we need to migrate our FreeIPA from VmWare to Cloudstack
environment. I need the best approach to do this FreeIPA server and data migration. If you
could point me to any articles or documentation regarding this it would be much helpful
for me.
See this guide,
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/...
It is specifically for migrating from RHEL-8 to 9 but the steps are the
same for migrating from one box to another (wherever they may live).
This is of course assuming your vmware environment can network with
cloudstack so you can do it one machine at a time.
The basic idea is you setup a new IPA server in the cloud, verify that
everything is working. Then uninstall IPA on the vmware server. I'd
probably just add 3 additional hosts on the cloud, creating a topology
with the one you started with. Then remove the remaining vmware ones. So
you'll go from 4 servers 5 to 5 to 8 to 4.
This does not have to happen one after another. Verify that things are
running, that you have more than 2 CAs in the cloud, you can issue
certs, do DNS lookups, etc. This can take days and it's fine.
Follow closely the instructions on renewal master, CRL generator, etc in
the above docs.
