Why teams migrate from Azure to GCP
Good fit when
- +Organizations moving to GCP for data, analytics, or ML-first workloads.
- +Teams adopting BigQuery, Vertex AI, or GKE as strategic platforms.
- +Companies looking for a simpler IAM model and strong Kubernetes-native tooling.
Strengths
- BigQuery and Vertex AI are best-in-class for analytics and ML.
- GKE is widely regarded as the most mature managed Kubernetes offering.
- Simpler IAM model with organization-level policies and flat role structure.
Tradeoffs
- Losing Entra ID integration; GCP identity is Cloud Identity or Workspace-based.
- Fewer regions than Azure in some geographies.
- Azure-specific services (Logic Apps, Power Platform, Azure DevOps) have no direct GCP equivalents.
Migration notes
- Rebuild identity: Entra ID to GCP Cloud Identity with service accounts and IAM bindings.
- Migrate data: Blob Storage to Cloud Storage, Azure Database to Cloud SQL, Cosmos DB to Firestore/Bigtable, Synapse to BigQuery.
- Translate networking: Azure VNets to GCP VPCs, NSGs to firewall rules, Application Gateway to Cloud Load Balancing.
- Plan compute: Azure VMs to Compute Engine, AKS to GKE, Container Apps to Cloud Run, Azure Functions to Cloud Functions.
- Migrate monitoring: Azure Monitor to Cloud Monitoring, Application Insights to Cloud Trace.
