The new agentic tools include an EKS-to-GKE Migration Agent, designed to help enterprises move Kubernetes workloads from Amazon EKS to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) .

The short version

  • The agent can analyze existing EKS environments, translate Kubernetes manifests, map storage and networking requirements, and help prepare workloads for deployment on GKE, with human approval points built into the process, the company wrote in a blog post .
  • Alongside that agent, Google is also adding new capabilities to its Migration Center’s Quick Estimator Agent.
  • These new capabilities will allow enterprise users to generate total cost of ownership estimates from infrastructure data, including VMware inventory exports, and test different migration scenarios and cost assumptions in natural language.

What happened
