Requested recently by @T-Dunlap and @Stevedow99, and Inspired in part by @anaisvaillant 's idea here.

Migration guide for customers interested in moving from dbt core to dbt cloud.

Create a framework of how to think about a migration and provide a list of considerations (similar to the how to configure your dbt repository (one or many) post) so the customer has a better grasp of the amount of work and time needed.

It might help to think of workflow and how these would change:

• people
• dbt (cloud account, dbt cloud project and dbt project)
• other tools they may have (orchestration, docs, BI, etc)
• Target Audience: a data engineering lead, architect, project leader

Additional information

We can use this internal doc as a resource. It's an initial outline of helpful questions compiled by @azzam34 and others.
