Here's the recipe I used when I migrated from Hosted Chef to my local instance. https://github.com/mattray/mattray-cookbook/blob/main/recipes/migrate.rb

We are looking to migrate Chef Automate and Chef Server from on-prem to AWS. During this process we need to change the URL. We want to preserve all the settings, cookbooks, keys, instances, etc. on the new server. We'll also need to update the Chef clients with the new URL so that they check-in to the new server. We're not able to use DNS to do this.
