+    <b>ZooKeeper to KRaft migration is considered an Early Access feature and is not recommended for production clusters.</b>
+  </p>
+
+  <p>The following features are not yet supported for ZK to KRaft migrations:</p>
+
+  <ul>
+    <li>Downgrading to ZooKeeper mode during or after the migration</li>
+    <li>Other features <a href="#kraft_missing">not yet supported in KRaft</a></li>
+  </ul>
+
+  <p>
+    Please report issues with ZooKeeper to KRaft migration using the
+    <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/KAFKA" target="_blank">project JIRA</a> and the "kraft" component.
+  </p>
+
+  <h3>Terminology</h3>
+  <p>
+    We use the term "migration" here to refer to the process of changing a Kafka cluster's metadata
+    system from ZooKeeper to KRaft and migrating existing metadata. An "upgrade" refers to installing a newer version of Kafka. It is not recommended to
+    upgrade the software at the same time as performing a metadata migration.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    We also use the term "ZK mode" to refer to Kafka brokers which are using ZooKeeper as their metadata
+    system. "KRaft mode" refers Kafka brokers which are using a KRaft controller quorum as their metadata system.
+  </p>
+
+  <h3>Preparing for migration</h3>
+  <p>
+    Before beginning the migration, the Kafka brokers must be upgraded to software version 3.5.0 and have the
+    "inter.broker.protocol.version" configuration set to "3.5". See <a href="#upgrade_3_5_0">Upgrading to 3.5.0</a> for
+    upgrade instructions.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    It is recommended to enable TRACE level logging for the migration components while the migration is active. This can
+    be done by adding the following log4j configuration to each KRaft controller's "log4j.properties" file.
+  </p>
+
+  <pre>log4j.logger.org.apache.kafka.metadata.migration=TRACE</pre>
+
+  <p>
+    It is generally useful to enable DEBUG logging on the KRaft controllers and the ZK brokers during the migration.
+  </p>
+
+  <h3>Provisioning the KRaft controller quorum</h3>
+  <p>
+    Two things are needed before the migration can begin. First, the brokers must be configured to support the migration and second,
+    a KRaft controller quorum must be deployed. The KRaft controllers should be provisioned with the same cluster ID as
+    the existing Kafka cluster. This can be found by examining one of the "meta.properties" files in the data directories
+    of the brokers, or by running the following command.
+  </p>
+
+  <pre>./bin/zookeeper-shell.sh localhost:2181 get /cluster/id</pre>
+
+  <p>
+    The KRaft controller quorum should also be provisioned with the latest <code>metadata.version</code> of "3.4".
+    For further instructions on KRaft deployment, please refer to <a href="#kraft_config">the above documentation</a>.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    In addition to the standard KRaft configuration, the KRaft controllers will need to enable support for the migration
+    as well as provide ZooKeeper connection configuration.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    Here is a sample config for a KRaft controller that is ready for migration:
+  </p>
+  <pre>
+# Sample KRaft cluster controller.properties listening on 9093
+process.roles=controller
+node.id=3000
+controller.quorum.voters=3000@localhost:9093
+controller.listener.names=CONTROLLER
+listeners=CONTROLLER://:9093
+
+# Enable the migration
+zookeeper.metadata.migration.enable=true
+
+# ZooKeeper client configuration
+zookeeper.connect=localhost:2181
+
+# Other configs ...</pre>
+
+  <p><em>Note: The KRaft cluster <code>node.id</code> values must be different from any existing ZK broker <code>broker.id</code>.
+  In KRaft-mode, the brokers and controllers share the same Node ID namespace.</em></p>
+
+  <h3>Enabling the migration on the brokers</h3>
+  <p>
+    Once the KRaft controller quorum has been started, the brokers will need to be reconfigured and restarted. Brokers
+    may be restarted in a rolling fashion to avoid impacting cluster availability. Each broker requires the
+    following configuration to communicate with the KRaft controllers and to enable the migration.
+  </p>
+
+  <ul>
+    <li><a href="#brokerconfigs_controller.quorum.voters">controller.quorum.voters</a></li>
+    <li><a href="#brokerconfigs_controller.listener.names">controller.listener.names</a></li>
+    <li>The controller.listener.name should also be added to <a href="#brokerconfigs_listener.security.protocol.map">listener.security.property.map</a></li>
+    <li><a href="#brokerconfigs_zookeeper.metadata.migration.enable">zookeeper.metadata.migration.enable</a></li>
+  </ul>
+
+  <p>Here is a sample config for a broker that is ready for migration:</p>
+
+  <pre>
+# Sample ZK broker server.properties listening on 9092
+broker.id=0
+listeners=PLAINTEXT://:9092
+advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9092
+listener.security.protocol.map=PLAINTEXT:PLAINTEXT,CONTROLLER:PLAINTEXT
+
+# Set the IBP
+inter.broker.protocol.version=3.5
+
+# Enable the migration
+zookeeper.metadata.migration.enable=true
+
+# ZooKeeper client configuration
+zookeeper.connect=localhost:2181
+
+# KRaft controller quorum configuration
+controller.quorum.voters=3000@localhost:9093
+controller.listener.names=CONTROLLER</pre>
+
+  <p>
+    <em>Note: Once the final ZK broker has been restarted with the necessary configuration, the migration will automatically begin.</em>
+    When the migration is complete, an INFO level log can be observed on the active controller:
+  </p>
+
+  <pre>Completed migration of metadata from Zookeeper to KRaft</pre>
+
+  <h3>Migrating brokers to KRaft</h3>
+  <p>
+    Once the KRaft controller completes the metadata migration, the brokers will still be running in ZK mode. While the
+    KRaft controller is in migration mode, it will continue sending controller RPCs to the ZK mode brokers. This includes
+    RPCs like UpdateMetadata and LeaderAndIsr.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    To migrate the brokers to KRaft, they simply need to be reconfigured as KRaft brokers and restarted. Using the above
+    broker configuration as an example, we would replace the <code>broker.id</code> with <code>node.id</code> and add
+    <code>process.roles=broker</code>. It is important that the broker maintain the same Broker/Node ID when it is restarted.
+    The zookeeper configurations should be removed at this point.
+  </p>
+
+  <pre>
+# Sample KRaft broker server.properties listening on 9092
+process.roles=broker
+node.id=0
+listeners=PLAINTEXT://:9092
+advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9092
+listener.security.protocol.map=PLAINTEXT:PLAINTEXT,CONTROLLER:PLAINTEXT
+
+# Don't set the IBP, KRaft uses "metadata.version" feature flag
+# inter.broker.protocol.version=3.5
+
+# Remove the migration enabled flag
+# zookeeper.metadata.migration.enable=true
+
+# Remove ZooKeeper client configuration
+# zookeeper.connect=localhost:2181
+
+# Keep the KRaft controller quorum configuration
+controller.quorum.voters=3000@localhost:9093
+controller.listener.names=CONTROLLER</pre>
+
+  <p>
+    Each broker is restarted with a KRaft configuration until the entire cluster is running in KRaft mode.
+  </p>
+
+  <h3>Finalizing the migration</h3>
+  <p>
+    Once all brokers have been restarted in KRaft mode, the last step to finalize the migration is to take the
+    KRaft controllers out of migration mode. This is done by removing the "zookeeper.metadata.migration.enable"
+    property from each of their configs and restarting them one at a time.
+  </p>
+
+  <pre>
+# Sample KRaft cluster controller.properties listening on 9093
+process.roles=controller
+node.id=3000
+controller.quorum.voters=3000@localhost:9093
+controller.listener.names=CONTROLLER
+listeners=CONTROLLER://:9093
+
+# Disable the migration
+# zookeeper.metadata.migration.enable=true
+
+# Remove ZooKeeper client configuration
+# zookeeper.connect=localhost:2181
+
+# Other configs ...</pre>
