Platform Migration Services¶

The Platform Migration Services will migrate Customer’s existing Code Base to Cloud Platform (Acquia Cloud Platform Enterprise or Acquia Cloud Platform Professional). The destination Code Base shall be configured to the same major version as the source Code Base. Prior to Acquia performing Migration Services, Customer shall ensure its website is running on a version of PHP supported by Acquia as defined in the Support Users Guide. Customer shall provide Acquia with an administrative login to the Code Base to be migrated, and have a technical point of contact familiar with Drupal.

Migration Services include:

• Initial, intermediate, and final migration of a single Code Base, database, and associated file assets. Acquia will provide up to three syncs of the website during the migration.
• Configuration changes to settings.php to connect to Cloud Platform.
• A basic review of Customer’s existing Drupal site configuration, module selection, and code for potential availability risks.
• Migration regressions root cause analysis and recommendations.
• Installation of the Acquia Connector and Acquia Search, if applicable.
• Security upgrades for core and contributed modules to the major version.

Acquia performs Platform Migration Services remotely, and requires an administrative login to Customer’s website. Customer agrees to cooperate with Acquia to the extent necessary for Acquia to perform the services. Customer shall also provide Acquia with access to Customer’s personnel.

After the migration, Acquia will conduct a light infrastructure site audit to determine whether any issues with the website may cause the launch to be unsuccessful. After the audit, Acquia will disclose any risks to Customer and suggest mitigation. Customer may either resolve the risks themself or engage Acquia at its standard professional services rates to fix the risks. Customer may buy a full infrastructure site audit for an additional fee and subject to a separate Order.

In the event Acquia determines additional storage or servers are insufficient to migrate Customer’s website, Acquia will inform Customer and Acquia will provision the additional necessary storage or capacity at Customer’s expense. All communication and documentation will be tracked using Acquia’s ticketing system.

Project duration is fixed based on the migration package purchased, and the timeline for engagement is dependent upon both teams’ execution of various milestones. Migrations are available in small, medium, large, and extra-large options, depending on the size and complexity of Customer’s project. Customer should anticipate at least three weeks to complete a small platform migration. The duration increases with the size and complexity of the migration. Additional time can be added to the timeline with a custom engagement.

Extended Migration Services¶

This service complements the Acquia Platform Migration Services. It includes additional tasks performed or assisted by an Acquia Professional Services Technical Architect.

This offering is for customers who wish to migrate their Drupal websites between subscriptions or data centers on Cloud Platform. The assumptions outlined in Acquia Platform Migration Services also apply to this offering.

Activities included with this offering are:

• Analysis of source and target environments.
• Configuration of the environments on target the Acquia Cloud subscription. For example, PHP settings, keys for integrations, and Acquia Search.
• Assistance with configuration of DNS, SSL, CDN, and changes to IP allowlists.
• Migration of domains.
• Tests of the website on the target environment.

Drupal SSO Configuration Support¶

The goal of the Single Sign-On (SSO)-Drupal SAML/LDAP configuration engagement is to assist customers in making the correct changes to the SimpleSAMLphp configuration that allows their Drupal site to work correctly with their SAML 2. 0 compliant Identity Provider (IdP). This engagement isn’t a replacement for the Customer involvement in the configuration. Acquia will assist the Customer’s Drupal team and coordinate with Customer’s identity provider team in the configuration of SimpleSAML/LDAP federated login services as a package available in small, medium, large, and extra-large options, depending on the size and complexity of Customer’s Drupal project. The SimpleSAMLphp engagement offering is limited to ensuring the implementation of a standard configuration that allows Drupal to authenticate against the customer’s IdP. This process requires that the customer either already have an IdP, or have someone available during the engagement with knowledge of how their IdP is configured. While the platform supports IdP first-flow or IdP initiated authentication, Acquia has limited visibility into these configurations. This offering assumes Service Provider (SP) initiated authentication. With SP initiated, Acquia can more thoroughly test the application from the SP side and view the corresponding logs.

The SimpleSAMLphp offering isn’t a general single sign-on solution. It doesn’t cover customization of the interaction between Drupal and the IdP, or the ability to shape and use the data returned by the IdP other than to the use the simpleSAMLphp Authentication Drupal module to allow Drupal users to be created and authenticated by the IdP.

Requirements

• The customer has one or more SAML 2.0 compliant IdPs identified and lined up.
• The customer has a primary technical contact at each IdP.
• The customer uses SimpleSAMLphp for the SP and the SimpleSAMLphp Authentication module to integrate with Drupal.

Acquia responsibilities

• Install and configure SimpleSAMLphp and the SimpleSAMLphp Authentication module to communicate with the customer’s chosen IdP.
• Assist and advise with troubleshooting SimpleSAMLphp to function against customer’s identified IdPs, including coordinating developer and IdP technical resources.
• Provide the following services for the number of sites based on the engagement package:
  • Each of a customer’s Dev, Stage, and Prod environments count as a separate site. If the customer wants all three of these to authenticate against their IdP, that would account for three sites.
  • In a Drupal multisite, each website will count three times towards the total number of sites for the Acquia packaged engagement, meaning that a multisite with three sites on the three environments (Dev, Stage, Prod) totals nine sites for purposes of the Acquia packaged engagement.
• Coordinate through Acquia’s ticketing system.
• Provide one coordination conference call per site. If the customer purchases a small engagement, Acquia will participate in up to three coordination calls. If the customer purchases a large engagement, Acquia will participate in up to nine coordination calls.
• Collaborate with Customer’s technical resources for testing the SimpleSAMLphp configuration.

Customer responsibilities

• Obtain and install SP metadata at the IdP.
• Collaborate with Acquia technical resources for testing the SimpleSAMLphp configuration.
• Ensure the availability of technical resources with access to and knowledge of the IdP.
• Own all custom code and testing of custom workflows beyond what’s provided by the SimpleSAMLphp Authentication Drupal module and the SimpleSAMLphp library.
• Own testing and validation of all Drupal configurations and workflows that integrate with the simpleSAMLphp Authentication module functionality (including custom role assignments and cookie based redirection).

Small Offering: Up to three (3) sites on Acquia Cloud or Acquia Cloud Professional

Medium Offering: Up to six (6) sites on Acquia Cloud or Acquia Cloud Professional

Large Offering: Up to nine (9) sites on Acquia Cloud, Acquia Cloud Professional or Acquia Site Factory

Acquia Launch Readiness - Large¶

Acquia Launch Readiness - Large combines a Security Audit, Performance Audit, and Load Testing (up to 3 tests for 5000 users each). Acquia Launch Readiness - Large is designed for Drupal implementations of decoupled or e-commerce focused sites and will be delivered remotely over twenty (20) days.

An Acquia Drupal Security Specialist will audit and analyze the application for potential security vulnerabilities. The Security Specialist will review architecture, development standards, and adherence to Drupal security best practices.

An Acquia Drupal Performance Specialist will audit and analyze a single application for potential performance issues. Acquia will first use automated testing to analyze the performance characteristics of the application and identify the performance gaps (up to 3 tests for up to 5000 concurrent users each). Once the gaps are identified, the consultant will perform a static analysis of the Code Base in order to identify the cause of the performance gaps. If substantial issues are uncovered during testing, Acquia will propose recommendations and high-level estimations to remedy these issues to help the Customer to ensure that the performance meets or exceeds expectations when deployed.

Note that for any decoupled or e-commerce focused application, the customer will need to provide working POSTMAN collections that successfully emulate all API/commerce requests. A detailed architectural diagram is also required. If any external services are required, the customer will need to contact the external service provider to ensure load testing is allowed and rate limiting is disabled.

The scope of Launch Readiness - Large includes:

• Drupal site performance audit: Traffic analysis, performance and scalability assessment, module review.
• Application profiling: Performance benchmarking via automated testing.
