Differences vs Huawei

  • Global front-end model differs.

Migration to Huawei

  • Map API/workflow stages, integration points, pipeline gates, and release controls. For Google Cloud Cloud Load Balancing, the direct Huawei equivalence layer is ELB; validate feature-by-feature parity for control plane, data plane, and operational behavior before cutover.
  • Use a composed Huawei migration pattern where needed: ELB + EIP + WAF. Treat ELB 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 forwarding rules/proxies and processed data volume; Huawei usually bills CodeArts/APIG/DMS runtime or request volume plus artifact/storage usage. Recalculate TCO with peak load, request volume, retention period, and cross-region/interconnect traffic before production migration.
