# Migrate from Grafana OSS/Enterprise to Grafana Cloud
When you decide to migrate from your self-managed Grafana instance to Grafana Cloud, you can benefit from the convenience of a managed observability platform, additional cloud-only features, and robust security. There are a couple of key approaches to help you transition to Grafana Cloud.
| Migration type | Tools used | Availability | Migratable resources |
| :------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Manual | <ul><li>Command line utilities</li><li>The Grafana HTTP API</li></ul> | Generally available in all versions of Grafana OSS/Enterprise | The entire Grafana instance |
| Automated | The Grafana Cloud Migration Assistant | Generally available in Grafana v12 and available in public preview from Grafana v11.2 to v11.6 using the `onPremToCloudMigrations` feature toggle. This toggle is enabled by default in Grafana v11.5 and later. | <ul><li>Dashboards</li><li>Folders</li><li>Data sources</li><li>App Plugins</li><li>Panel Plugins</li><li>Library Panels</li><li>Grafana Alerting resources</li></ul> |
Our detailed [migration guide](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/account-management/migration-guide/manually-migrate-to-grafana-cloud/) explains the key steps and scripts to manually migrate your resources to Grafana Cloud, covering a comprehensive set of resources in your Grafana instance. Alternatively, the [Grafana Cloud Migration Assistant](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/account-management/migration-guide/cloud-migration-assistant/), available in public preview in Grafana v11.2 and later, automates the migration process across a broad range of Grafana resources. You can use the migration assistant to migrate a large proportion of your Grafana resources and then, if needed, leverage the migration guide to migrate the rest.
