Content Delivery Role migration reference for migration from SDL Web 8

If you upgraded to SDL Web 8 from an SDL Tridion implementation, you may have upgraded some of your Roles to deprecated Java/JSP Web application-based microservices, rather than to standalone microservices. In addition, you may have continued to use your existing API Role (now called API in-process), rather than switch to the new RESTful API. This topic explains what it means to migrate from those deprecated setups to the new setup.
