Hi, With the commissioning of the Sydney data centre, there are no doubt many Australia based customers wanting to migrate to the new data centre. I imagine the same was true when other locations opened up worldwide.
We have existing app engine, cloud sql, cloud storage and data store assets we would like to migrate. Has anyone undertaken this process? Our understanding is that we can create a new application in the new zone, and do a backup and restore. However there are a few hurdles. Some of the issues we see are: - The application name currently in use won't be available for use in the new zone, thus requiring a rename of the application - The process of cutting over between zones may require us to update a number of DNS A records managed by third parties. - The CNAME to ghs.googlehosted.com must cut over to the new application at some point, but I'm not sure how this is managed. Presumably when verifying the domain into the new application google starts serving a new result when ghs.googlehosted.com is queried? Are there any migration tools available? Does google offer any assistance in this regard? According to a news article at https://www.crn.com.au/news/google-cloud-finally-comes-to-sydney-today-465735, " Google Cloud platform managing director APJ Rick Harshman told CRN that customers wanting to migrate to local availability zones can contact one of its partners, or Google's customer engineering team to help with the migration.", but I'm not sure how to get in touch with the "customer engineering team".
