GCP Migration- migration from IBM cloud

[Shankey]

Does Migrate for compute (any version) support migration from IBM cloud. IF not what could be the workaround to perform the same. IBM has the Live migration mechanism. If any one has performed it as per their experience

Do you want to migrate a DB or a VM to GCP? Checking IBM documentation, you can use IBMs Live Migration service to connect your GCP project in order to replicate your source machine to a GCP Target infrastructure.

You need to create a service account from the GCP side. After the creation of the service account, you will be provided with a Private Key. The private key and the Project ID are credentials that you need to enter into the IBM Live Migration Service console

A service account is a special kind of account used by an application or compute workload, such as a Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) instance, rather than a person. Applications use service accounts to make authorized API calls, authorized as either the service account itself, or as Google Workspace or Cloud Identity users through domain-wide delegation.

For example, a service account can be attached to a Compute Engine VM so that applications running on that VM can authenticate as the service account. In addition, the service account can be granted IAM roles that let it access resources. The service account is used as the identity of the application, and the service account's roles control which resources the application can access.

A service account is identified by its email address, which is unique to the account.

The following steps need to be followed:

1. Create a GCP account.
2. Obtain the GCP project ID.
3. Create a service account with the required permissions and generate a private Key.
4. [Optional] Regenerate your private Key.  

The IBM documentation has a more detailed description on how to achieve these previous steps, which are needed to successfully connect to your GCP project and then migrate to GCP infrastructure.
