In most cases you can bring your configuration over from the prior version. The biggest change we made in WildFly 11 was the introduction of a new security layer based on WildFly Elytron, however for now the legacy security solution is available in parallel. At some point legacy security will be removed so we know that is a migration activity that will be needed. However overall I would recommend anyone making use of the WildFly releases incorporates into their processes steps to routinely keep up to date, in addition to the new development these releases contain many fixes including security fixes. This way it is a regular maintenance task to keep up to date rather than a migration across 11 major versions. If anyone is able to do this and test against the Beta releases we produce it is also an opportunity to let us know when we have broken something, no guarantees but we do try and take this into account - I have seen numerous bug fixes go in either as a result of feedback against the Beta or against the X.0.0.Final release.
