How to Seamlessly Move Infrastructure Across AWS and GCP with Wanclouds VPC+

It’s common for consumers to switch mobile network providers based on the available service and the price of their cell phone plan. Indeed, it’s a straightforward process that can occur at any time with a simple request to the cell phone provider.

However, when it comes to different public Cloud providers, there is a common understanding that once you deploy your infrastructure and apps in a specific Cloud, it becomes complicated to move to a different Cloud. This difficulty is primarily due to the differences in the implementation of the same functions across each Cloud. For example, network functions, such as load balancing and security policies, while performing the same functions, are implemented differently across different Clouds. Hence, the whole process of migration across Clouds is cumbersome, costly, and very time-consuming.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. The freedom to move your infrastructure, resources, and inter-resource relationships across Clouds in seconds, without having to deal with the complexities, spend a fortune, or endure the pain of engaging expensive Cloud consulting companies, has arrived. This is possible with WanClouds VPC+ application, which creates an abstraction layer over existing Cloud infrastructure, including a VPC with its associated networking constructs, network functions, security policies, instance profiles, endpoints, and more.

Simplifying Multi-Cloud Management

This abstraction of the infrastructure can be combined with existing backup technologies such as Velero for Kubernetes clusters or other solutions to create a complete and comprehensive blueprint of the infrastructure that can be restored, replicated, and moved across regions and Clouds.

WanClouds VPC+ creates a Cloud infrastructure abstraction of resources such as:

• VPCs names, tags
• Regions and Zones in Public Clouds
• IP addressing
• Subnets
• Load Balancing
• Routes
• Security Groups or Host policies
• Access Control Lists
• Virtual Private Network gateway and setup
• Public Gateway
• Content Delivery Network or Caching Solution
• SSH Keys
• Resource Names and Tags
• Virtual Machines profiles
• Attached Storage volume profiles
• DNS
• Related endpoints

In today’s data management solutions, such an abstraction is often missing, as backups are typically taken of individual machines, data volumes, or specific clusters, such as Kubernetes clusters. Restoring any such backups requires and assumes that the infrastructure is ready, which is often not the case; thus, restoring is a painful process during disaster scenarios.

WanClouds has taken steps to combine the infrastructure base abstraction with available Kubernetes backup solutions, such as Velero, to create a comprehensive use case for modern application backup and recovery, not only within the same Cloud but across Clouds.

With a focus on simplifying the Multi-Cloud world for customers, WanClouds has invested considerable time and effort in creating infrastructure abstractions and an intuitive user interface, enabling cloud admins and DevOps teams to perform complex functions with ease through simple clicks.

Below are some of the use cases our approach covers.

VPC+ Discovery and Visualization

• Ability to add one or multiple Cloud accounts from AWS or GCP.
• Discover and visualize your infrastructure (VPC) blueprint and resources
• This visualization comes in handy during troubleshooting sessions, such as tracking security rules, VPNs, or load balancers
• Compliance policies and spending visibility

Backup infrastructure and resources, and move across regions and Clouds

• Discover VPCs, Kubernetes (GKE, EKS) clusters
• Backup VPCs and replicate or restore on demand
• Backup GKE, EKS clusters, along with persistent data volumes, VPC resources, and policies to your Cloud object storage bucket
• Restore or replicate the GKE or EKS cluster, along with saved VPC blueprints
• Move the Application across two clusters
• Restore in the existing VPC or Different VPCs
• Flexible backup policies

Translate, Transform, and Migrate across AWS and GCP

• Discover VPCs and Kubernetes (EKS, GKE) Infrastructure
• Choose your source and destination Cloud accounts
• VPC+ will automatically translate and transform your source Infrastructure to the destination Cloud
• Translate and transform your VPC blueprints across AWS and GCP
• Translate, transform, and migrate across EKS and GKE with a few simple clicks

Hence, with a few clicks, you can translate, transform, and replicate your infrastructure across AWS and Google Cloud, creating freedom for customers to be less dependent on a specific Cloud provider.
