The cloud migration process can be classified into two scenarios: “migrating local data to the cloud” and “migrating data from other clouds to BOS”. Each scenario involves handling both existing data and new incremental data. Baidu AI Cloud Object Storage (BOS) offers several migration methods to ensure data consistency and smooth transitions while keeping additional costs minimal. Choose a migration approach based on your specific business needs.
