Migrate from S3 Vectors to Qdrant

What You Need from AWS

• S3 bucket name — the bucket containing your vector data
• Index name — the S3 Vectors index to migrate
• AWS credentials — configured via aws configure or environment variables (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)

Run the Migration

docker run --net=host --rm -it \
    -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='your-access-key' \
    -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='your-secret-key' \
    -e AWS_REGION='us-east-1' \
    registry.cloud.qdrant.io/library/qdrant-migration s3 \
    --s3.bucket 'your-bucket-name' \
    --s3.index 'your-index-name' \
    --qdrant.url 'https://your-instance.cloud.qdrant.io:6334' \
    --qdrant.api-key 'your-qdrant-api-key' \
    --qdrant.collection 'your-collection'

All S3 Vectors-Specific Flags

AWS credentials are passed via environment variables or the default AWS credential chain, not CLI flags.

Qdrant-Side Options

Gotchas

• Credential handling: AWS credentials must be available inside the container. Pass them as environment variables with -e flags or mount your ~/.aws directory.
• Region matters: Ensure the AWS_REGION environment variable matches the region of your S3 bucket.

Next Steps

After migration, verify your data arrived correctly with the Migration Verification Guide.
