Introduction

Purpose of the Project

The scm-config-clone tool is designed to simplify the process of migrating configuration objects between Palo Alto Networks Strata Cloud Manager (SCM) tenants. Whether you're consolidating environments, migrating to a new tenant, or replicating configurations for testing, this tool streamlines the process.

• Secure Credentials Handling: Uses a settings.yaml file to store credentials securely.
• Customizable: Allows specifying folders and is designed to be extended with additional commands.
• User-Friendly: Provides clear prompts and informative logging.

Workflow

1. Authentication: Set up your credentials and project settings using the settings command.
2. Cloning Operations: Use the available commands to clone address objects and groups.
3. Verification: Confirm that configurations have been successfully cloned to the destination tenant.
