Automating Large Scale Cloud Migrations to GCP with Velostrata
summary
Velostrata migrates stateful VMs to GCP by booting machines in the cloud over an agentless real-time streaming channel so apps run in minutes while storage migrates in background, with WAN optimizations, caching and predictive prefetch. Automation Runbook and REST/PowerShell APIs orchestrate hundreds of VMs per sprint and apply rightsizing recommendations. Customers report 1,000 servers in six months (about 100/week), measured 11-minute boots for >1TB disks, typically 4% rollback rate and overall 5x migration velocity.
