Drupal 8
Audience: 
Intermediate

The upgrade path into Drupal 8 is a radical change from previous versions of Drupal and comes with many great new features, yet it is different than the old “upgrade” system and goes well beyond what the “migrate” module did in previous versions.

In this talk we will help guide you through the available migration paths so you can find a strategy that works for your team. The choices range from an absolute beginner-level migration using the user interface, to a more nuanced configuration-based migration for intermediate developers, and finally to more advanced use cases that deal with legacy systems (such as systems that are not based on Drupal at all) where custom code will be needed.

At the end of this session you will have a good overview of what is possible using Drupal’s new migration system and know how to find resources that will help you get your data into Drupal 8.
