 # clusterctl move
+
+The `clusterctl move` command allows to move the Cluster API objects defining workload clusters, like e.g. Cluster, Machines,
+MachineDeployments, etc. from one management cluster to another management cluster.
+
+<aside class="note warning">
+
+<h1> Warning </h1>
+
+Before running `clusterctl move`, the user should take care of preparing the target management cluster, including also installing
+all the required provider using `clusterctl init`.
+ 
+The version of the providers installed in the target management cluster should be at least the same version of the
+corresponding provider in the source cluster.
+
+</aside>
+
+You can use:
+
+```shell
+clusterctl move --to-kubeconfig="path-to-target-kubeconfig.yaml"
+```
+
+To move all the Cluster API objects objects in the source management cluster; in case if you want to move only the
+Cluster API objects defined in a specific namespace, you can use the `--namespace` flag.
+
+<aside class="note">
+
+<h1> Pause Reconciliation </h1>
+
+Before moving a `Cluster`, clusterctl sets the `Cluster.Spec.Paused` field to `true` stopping
+the controllers to reconcile the workload cluster _in the source management cluster_.
+
+The `Cluster` object created in the target management cluster instead will be actively reconciled.

+## OwnerReferences chain
+
+Each provider is responsible to ensure that all the providers resources (like e.g. `VSphereCluster`, `VSphereMachine`, `VSphereVM` etc. 
+for the `vsphere` provider) MUST have a `Metadata.OwnerReferences` entry that links directly or indirectly to a `Cluster` object.
+
+Please note that all the provider specific resources that are referenced by the Cluster API core objects will get the `OwnerReference`
+sets by the Cluster API core controllers, e.g.:
+
+- The Cluster controller ensures that all the objects referenced in `Cluster.Spec.InfrastructureRef` get an `OwnerReference` 
+  that links directly to the corresponding `Cluster`.
+- The Machine controller ensures that all the objects referenced in `Machine.Spec.InfrastructureRef` get an `OwnerReference` 
+  that links to the corresponding `Machine`, and the `Machine` is linked to the `Cluster` through its own `OwnerReference` chain.  
+
+That means that, practically speaking, provider implementers are responsible for ensuring that the `OwnerReference`s
+are set only for objects that are not directly referenced by Cluster API core objects, e.g.:
+
+- All the `VSphereVM` instances should get an `OwnerReference` that links to the corresponding `VSphereMachine`, and the `VSphereMachine`
+  is linked to the `Cluster` through its own `OwnerReference` chain.

+Provider authors should be aware that `clusterctl move` command implements a discovery mechanism that considers:

+* `Secret` and `ConfigMap` objects.

+If moving some of excluded object is required, the provider authors should create documentation describing the

+
+Additionally, provider authors should be aware that `clusterctl move` assumes all the provider's Controllers respect the
+`Cluster.Spec.Paused` field introduced in the v1alpha3 Cluster API specification.
