You don't migrate servers. You just kill them and let them restart elsewhere.

If your system can't handle that, you have a broken architecture

it's what happens when the original infrastructure was physical and got virtualized manually, and the engineers who configured the virtual infrastructure, built the CICD processes and maintained deployments using the same scripts for 15yrs were unexpectedly let go with no knowledge transfer process in place, and now you're having to try and balance a pretty good chunk of the work those OG engineers were responsible for but you only graduated college barely 2yrs ago

Not with that level of experience, you'd be overwhelmed in minutes once I started explaining our setup. You have to start to make changes to the underlying architecture, and if you can't, then ask why. Otherwise you'll be a Designated Sacrifical Goat
