From Any Platform. No Refactoring. No Downtime.



Introduction


Google is providing enterprises with compelling reasons to modernize and consolidate their container workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Many organizations today run containerized applications across a diverse mix of platforms—including OpenShift, EKS, AKS, Rancher, Tanzu, OKE, and IKS. RackWare’s SWIFT simplifies this transition with a fully automated, seamless solution for migrating containerized workloads from any source environment into GKE—with minimal disruption, zero refactoring, and complete support for both stateless and stateful applications.


Solution Overview


RackWare SWIFT automates end-to-end container migration into GKE from any Kubernetes-based platform. It ensures flexibility, security, and efficiency for a range of use cases including DR, hybrid cloud, and modernization.


Key Capabilities:

  • Platform Agnostic: Supports OpenShift, EKS, AKS, Rancher, Tanzu, OKE, IKS, and more

  • Storage Versatility: Compatible with CSI, native, and legacy storage

  • Automated Full-Stack Migration: Moves volumes, namespaces, configs, secrets, and apps

  • Low-Disruption Replication: Delta-sync ensures minimal downtime and fast failover

  • Flexible Architecture: Enables full migration, hybrid strategies, or DR to GKE


Whether migrating, protecting, or extending workloads, RackWare and GKE deliver a fast, secure path to Kubernetes optimization.
