GOOGLE CLOUD TO STACKIT
Google Cloud to STACKIT migration
Kubernetes moves. A data platform needs a design. StackToIT reads your Google Cloud Terraform and separates the two, so you can plan the migration around the work it really takes.
Separate what moves from what must be rebuilt
Google Cloud estates often pair portable workloads with deeply managed data services. Treating both the same makes a plan wrong from the first line, so each resource gets its own treatment and reason.
Reads your Terraform
Google Cloud resources, modules and dependencies from Terraform and OpenTofu root modules.
Network treated as design
Dedicated readers cover routes, firewall rules, identity and placement. Firewall policies and Cloud NAT change their model on STACKIT, and the plan says how.
Drafts the target
STACKIT Terraform drafts, target architecture, execution sequence and a register of open choices for your architects.
Where your services go
Typical outcomes from the StackToIT knowledge base. The treatment of each resource depends on its configuration, and the report states the reason.
| Google Cloud | STACKIT target | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Compute Engine | STACKIT Compute Engine | Reconfigure |
| Google Kubernetes Engine | STACKIT Kubernetes Engine (SKE) | Replatform |
| Cloud SQL | PostgreSQL Flex, MariaDB, SQLServer Flex | Replatform |
| AlloyDB | PostgreSQL Flex | Replatform |
| Cloud Storage | STACKIT Object Storage | Reconfigure |
| Memorystore for Redis | Key Value Store (Valkey) | Reconfigure or Replatform |
| Pub/Sub | STACKIT RabbitMQ | Replatform |
| Cloud Run | SKE or Cloud Foundry | Containerize |
| BigQuery | Lakehouse on Object Storage or a self-managed warehouse | Redesign |
| Spanner | PostgreSQL Flex or self-managed distributed SQL | Redesign |
| Bigtable | Self-managed wide-column store on SKE, or MongoDB Flex | Redesign |
What it gives the business
See the data platform work early
BigQuery, Spanner and Bigtable have no direct counterpart and are marked for redesign, so the largest items are in the plan before the budget is set.
Reuse your container investment
GKE workloads target STACKIT Kubernetes Engine, and Cloud Run services move to SKE or Cloud Foundry as containers.
Choose waves on evidence
Treatment and dependencies per resource show which systems can move first and which depend on a design decision.
Your architects review each draft before anything is applied. For databases from a private PostgreSQL or SQL Server source, set the network access scope in the draft explicitly.
