+## Migrating Elasticsearch data using ((ls))
+
+You can use ((ls)) to migrate data from self-managed ((es)) or ((ess)) to ((es3)), or to migrate data from one ((es3)) deployment to another.
+
+Create a [((ls)) pipeline](((logstash-ref))/configuration.html) that includes the ((es)) [input plugin](((logstash-ref))/plugins-inputs-elasticsearch.html) and [output plugin](((logstash-ref))/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html).
+
+Configure the ((es)) input to point to your source deployment or instance, and configure the ((es)) output with the `cloud_id` and `api_key` settings for your target ((es3)) instance.
+
+If your origin index is using settings that aren't supported in Serverless, then you might need to adjust your index settings.

## Next steps
Check out the [Logstash product page](https://www.elastic.co/logstash) to see what ((ls)) can do for you.
