We're moving from Azure to Google Cloud Platform

GitLab has been focusing on improving the performance and reliability of GitLab.com by migrating its infrastructure from Microsoft Azure to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), leveraging the robust Kubernetes support provided by Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). This transition aims to enhance the platform's scalability and reliability, with a particular emphasis on utilizing Geo for maintaining synchronized mirrors for disaster recovery and facilitating the migration process. As part of the migration strategy, GitLab is also transferring approximately 200TB of data from Azure-based file servers to Google Cloud Storage to eliminate single points of failure associated with NFS servers and improve availability. The migration process involves regular rehearsals in a staging environment to ensure a smooth transition, with rigorous testing and quality assurance to protect user data integrity. The failover is planned for July 28, 2018, contingent upon ensuring all potential issues are resolved and the new environment is fully prepared for production workloads.
