Cloud Native Experience: Cloud Provider Ready

Cloud Native Experience GCP Ready

This guide provides an automated workflow for deploying Liferay DXP on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The Cloud Native Experience (CNE) GCP Ready toolkit uses Terraform, Argo CD, and Kubernetes to provision and manage infrastructure components such as Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, and Elasticsearch running on Kubernetes through the Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) operator.

Following this deployment model automates infrastructure provisioning, backups, scaling, and GitOps-based application management while reducing operational overhead for DevOps teams.

Note

Unlike AWS Ready deployments, GCP Ready uses Elasticsearch running on-cluster through ECK because Google Cloud Platform does not provide a managed OpenSearch service.

Database and search service compatibility depends on the Liferay version and supported Elasticsearch versions. For supported databases and search engines, see the Liferay Compatibility Matrix.

Start with the Getting Started guide to prepare your environment and deploy the toolkit.
