Google Migrate for Anthos

Google Migrate for Anthos automates the process of moving legacy VM workloads into containerized environments on GKE. It supports migrations from VMware vSphere, AWS EC2, and Azure VMs, converting disks and configurations into deployable container images. The tool analyzes the source VM, creates a migration plan, and handles networking adjustments like IP mapping and load balancing. It integrates directly with Google Cloud's Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Cloud Audit Logs for security tracking. You can run multiple migrations in parallel, and the service scales with your cluster size. After migration, it offers ongoing synchronization for data consistency before cutover. This is not a lift and shift tool for VMs that never change; it is built for teams who want to modernize their infrastructure by moving to Kubernetes without rewriting applications from scratch. Google Migrate for Anthos is part of the broader Anthos hybrid cloud platform, so it works best if you are already using GKE and Google Cloud networking.
