Merry Christmas! I'm trying to do a large migration of 5 servers from Rackspace Cloud to Softlayer CloudLayer, and am wondering what the proper procedure for a task like this might be. Each server is different (one for www, one for MySQL, three for separate apps), and have different packages installed on them with unique configurations (i.e. Varnish, git, NodeJS, etc). They're all Ubuntu servers. Being my first time, I'd love to get some advice . It doesn't sound to be as simple as migrating everything under "/" from the old server to the new server. Anyone have any ideas as to what the correct procedure should be to get everything moved and working together at the new provider? Thanks! Donny
