Hi All,

I was looking for any help or documentation on how to migrate the QlikView 12 from the Virtual Box to Cloud Platform like AWS, AZURE. Please share your thoughts if any idea on it.

Thanks in advance.

@Sush678

Since this question is about QlikView I will move it to the QlikView board

Hi Sush678,

As per your requirement, I am assuming you will get a servers from AWS or Azure with permissions and other stuff. So you need to do any steps related to the cloud server like launching new virtual server etc., am i right..?

Hi @Sush678 : in general, it's no different than using QlikView in any other virtual environment.
So, make sure that you have dedicated resources, a network with little latency and everything else that you'd expect in a virtual machine.
You can use this article as the starting point.

One important thing to consider is that in QlikView we still only support Windows shares for mounted/source/root folders.
Some customers made the mistake of starting using solutions provided by the vendor (like Amazon FSx) and had to revert that change.
Of course, Windows shares published by a server in the cloud are fine, as long as the server meets the performance requirements.
