Learn about the real-world challenges and solutions involved in migrating a well-architected platform from AWS to Google Cloud Platform in this 51-minute conference talk. Discover the complexities that arise when moving a high-performing microservices architecture built with Kubernetes, GitLab, Flux2, Prometheus, Terraform, Kafka, PostgreSQL, and LinkerD service mesh from one cloud provider to another. Explore why what seems like a straightforward migration of containerized applications and clean architecture becomes significantly more complicated in practice. Gain insights into the unexpected obstacles encountered during cloud migration, including issues with data replication tools, monitoring and logging transitions, and Kubernetes cluster management differences between cloud providers. Understand the "oops" moments and creative problem-solving approaches that ultimately led to a successful platform migration, including the final DNS switchover to GCP.
