Update on our planned move from Azure to Google Cloud Platform

GitLab is undergoing a significant migration from Azure to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to enhance performance and reliability, primarily due to GCP's superior Kubernetes support. This transition involves multiple scheduled maintenance windows, during which certain GitLab services will be temporarily unavailable. Initially planned for July 28, the actual migration has been rescheduled to August 11 following a series of tests and dry runs to ensure a smooth transition. Users in certain countries such as Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria may face accessibility issues post-migration due to legal restrictions imposed by Google. The migration is expected to provide immediate benefits, such as encrypted data at rest by default and improved caching performance. GitLab has advised users to back up their data as a precaution and assures them that support will be available throughout the migration process.
