Migrate from OpenShift
Make your applications portable, multicloud and cloud-native. Reduce your total cost of ownership by reducing licensing and operational costs. Leverage cloud services to quickly add smartness to your applications.
Benefits
Standardize applications with Kubernetes Resource Model
Centralized multicloud experience
With a centralized and fully managed multi-cluster management solution, centralized logging, and monitoring you have just one place to go for operations.
Avoid vendor lock-in
Kubernetes is about portability, not a customized implementation from a particular vendor. Avoid your applications being tied to a vendor's resource model, their middleware or operating system.
Leverage 1P services to build smart applications
First party services from Google Cloud can give a leap jump to your application capabilities. Running your containerized applications on GKE and Anthos allows you to easily integrate with these services.
Key features
Future-proof your application platform
Migrating from vendor-specific implementation like OpenShift to GKE/Anthos will set you on a path towards future proofing your application platform
Migration Tooling
Leverage open source migration scripts and shifter tool to migrate your applications from OpenShift to GKE/Anthos. Feel free to customize the scripts for your needs or leverage Google's professional services/partner support to help with migration.
Leverage global networking advantages
Multi-cluster ingress where single load balancer points to multiple clusters. Cloud interconnect to connect clusters across datacenters. Direct connectivity from load balancer to pods. Access via Google VPC. Private clusters hidden from the internet.
Centralize configuration and policy management across clusters
With Config Management (CM), automate policy and security at scale for Kubernetes clusters on-premises, on GKE and on other public clouds.
Reduce operations overhead
With centralized logging, audit trails, monitoring and APM, achieve consistent experience across multiple kubernetes clusters. Implement cross-cluster application management, out-of-the-box telemetry, automation of health monitoring through SLOs and error budget management.
Speed up your application delivery speed and security
Improve day-in-the-life of a container developer. Make GKE your application development environment, and ease container developer experience with tools such as Cloud Code, Skaffold, JIB, Buildpacks and more. Improve the DevOps speed and security with serverless CI/CD using technologies such as Cloud Build, Cloud Deploy, Artifact Registry, Artifact Analysis and Binary Authorization.
