Hi @Hussain_Peera

You’d need to look at using the backup and restore roles: awx-operator/roles at devel · ansible/awx-operator · GitHub

I’ve not done this kind of migration before but high level steps would be something along the lines of:

  1. Take a backup of the AWX resources and database using the AWXBackup CRD. Steps and configuration can be found in the backup role README. The PVC created by the AWXBackup contains a tarball which you could copy out and then stage inside a PVC in your GCP cluster.
  2. Deploy the awx-operator on your GCP cluster.
  3. Stage the tarball into a PVC on your GCP cluster.
  4. Use the AWXRestore CRD to deploy AWX from the tarball staged in the PVC.
