Google KF Migration

The Replacement for Pivotal Cloud Foundry

 

What is Google KF?

Google KF is a Google project designed to be a migration tool for application workloads originating from Tanzu Application Service (aka Pivotal Cloud Foundry) to Kubernetes

• KF runs CF workloads natively on GKE
• Runs on any cloud provider via Anthos

 

Why Should I Use Google KF?

• To eliminate platform licensing fees
• To migrate my application workloads to Kubernetes
• To minimize developer efforts in migrating applications to Kubernetes
• To maintain a unified developer experience post migration
• To minimize the time to migrate my applications to Kubernetes
• To migrate my workloads from on-prem to the public cloud

 

How does it work? And, How much does it cost me?

Google KF is a Cloud Foundry replacement deployed on Kubernetes (GKE)

• KF is installed on GKE
• GKE runs on Google Cloud Platform
• GKE, via Anthos, also runs on AWS, Azure, VSphere, and Bare Metal
• The main change for developers is that they have to change their CF commands to KF commands
• Or simply alias the cf cli to the kf cli
• Google KF has no licencing costs

 

What is the process for migrating?

• Month 1: Assess workloads for feasibility
• Months 2-3: Proof of Concept and sample migration
• Months 3-12: Migrate all apps to KF on Kubernetes
• Months 12-48: Transform to your applications to the desired future state
