You must prepare your Drupal application for export before initiating the import process. For more information, visit Preparing a Drupal application for export.

Importing a site archive¶

To import an existing Drupal application to Cloud Platform by using a site archive file:

1. Create a Drupal site archive file for import by exporting your existing Drupal application.
2. Import your website into the non-production environment of your Cloud Platform application through one of the following methods:
   • Importing through the Cloud Platform user interface
   • Importing by using Drush

Cloud Platform commits your application code to your Cloud Platform code repository, installs the database, and uploads your files.
