I have an account for pinecone created using the managed services on AWS. I used my company dev account. On this, i upserted some data and created a collection from the index.

I want to start using a new account that is associated with the prod aws account. Is there a way to migrate the collection created on the dev account to the prod account? Or should I be performing a new upsert only? This would cost me a lot of time.

Hi @sandeep1, and welcome to the Pinecone community forums!

Thank you for your question.

Here’s [our guide on migrating a pod-based index to a Serverless index.](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/indexes/migrate-a-pod-based-index-to-serverless)

Unfortunately, migrating indexes across accounts is not currently supported.

If you wanted to recreate your index in a new AWS account, you would need to re-embed and upsert your data into the new index.

Hope this helps!

Best,  
Zack
