Differences vs Huawei

  • Hierarchy and role inheritance differ.

Migration to Huawei

  • Map detection/prevention policy scope, enforcement points, and response workflows. For Google Cloud Cloud IAM, the direct Huawei equivalence layer is IAM; validate feature-by-feature parity for control plane, data plane, and operational behavior before cutover.
  • Use a composed Huawei migration pattern where needed: IAM + IAM Identity Center + CBH. Treat IAM as the core equivalent capability and use the additional services to cover integration, security, observability, and governance gaps.
  • Pricing model difference: Google Cloud usually bills policy/protected-resource tiers plus request/event/scan volume; Huawei usually bills WAF/CFW/DEW/DBSS/DSC billing by edition, protected assets, requests/events, or scans. Recalculate TCO with peak load, request volume, retention period, and cross-region/interconnect traffic before production migration.
