Migrate or Import Data into Your Cluster

The Atlas Live Migration Service can migrate your data from your existing environment to MongoDB Atlas for Government with minimal impact to your app. Live Migration Service procedures for Atlas are also applicable to AtlasGov, with the following exceptions:

  • To migrate from commercial Atlas to AtlasGov, navigate to the Migration Hub and use the Migrate from Self-Managed option, not the Migrate from Atlas option. When providing the source connection string, append ?tls=true.

  • To migrate sharded clusters running MongoDB 8.0 or later, provide the hostname and port of the mongos routers in your connection string instead of the individual mongod hostnames.

  • The Live Migration Service doesn't support migrating using private endpoints or VPC peering. If your migration requires these network configurations, use Mongosync instead.

For an overview of the service and tutorials for common migrations, see Atlas Live Migration.
