There are various methods supported. Choose the one that works best for the specific workload. \n\nConnectivity limitations\n------------------------\n\nThe PostgreSQL to AlloyDB connectivity has the following limitations:\n\n- AlloyDB supports private connectivity using [private services access](/alloydb/docs/configure-connectivity). Assigning a public IP address to a cluster is not supported.\n- You can't change the VPC with which the AlloyDB cluster is peered after the cluster is created.\n- Because AlloyDB uses private services access which internally uses VPC peering, [transitive peering](/vpc/docs/vpc-peering#specifications) isn't supported. Your AlloyDB cluster can only reach internal IP addresses in the same VPC with which it is peered. In order to reach other VPCs, you must use an intermediary proxy. For more details, see the following section.\n\nCommon connectivity scenarios and solutions\n-------------------------------------------\n\n### Migrate from a Cloud SQL instance in the old producer network architecture\n\n[](#lightbox-trigger) **Figure 1.** A private connection facilitated by the TCP proxy VM (click to enlarge)\n\nTo migrate from a Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance in the old producer\nnetwork architecture, you must establish connectivity using an intermediary\nproxy. This is because it isn't possible to have direct connectivity between\nthe source Cloud SQL instance and the AlloyDB destination.\nYou can set up your own proxy solution, although we recommend setting up\nthe TCP proxy VM with the auto-generated script provided by Database Migration Service.\nSee [TCP proxy connectivity method](/database-migration/docs/postgresql-to-alloydb/configure-connectivity-tcp-proxy-via-cloud-hosted-vm).\n\n### Migrate from a source in the same Google Cloud project but in a different VPC\n\nBecause the VPC in which the AlloyDB cluster resides can't be changed after the cluster is created, you have the following options:\n\n- The recommended option is to change the VPC of the source instance to match the VPC of the destination instance. For example, if you want to migrate a Cloud SQL instance to AlloyDB, [update the Cloud SQL VPC](/sql/docs/postgres/configure-private-ip#existing-private-instance) to match the AlloyDB VPC.\n\n | **Caution:** Configuring a private IP address for an existing Cloud SQL instance causes the instance to restart, resulting in downtime.\n- If it's not possible to change the VPC of the source instance to match the VPC of the destination instance, then use an intermediary virtual machine (VM) as a proxy. You can set up your own proxy solution, although we recommend using the [TCP proxy connectivity method](/database-migration/docs/postgresql-to-alloydb/configure-connectivity-tcp-proxy-via-cloud-hosted-vm). After Database Migration Service generates your script in the Google Cloud console, add another network interface to the command for creating a TCP proxy instance, and configure it to match the VPC of the source instance. This way, the proxy has connectivity to both the source and destination VPCs.\n\n To add another network interface, append `--network-interface network=SOURCE_NETWORK_NAME` to the `gcloud compute instances create-with-container` command that appears in the script.\n | **Note:** For custom mode VPC networks, you have to explicitly specify the subnet. The argument you need to append is `--network-interface network=SOURCE_NETWORK_NAME,subnet=`\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eSOURCE_SUBNET_NAME\u003c/var\u003e.\n\n An example command to create the proxy: \n\n ```bash\n gcloud compute instances create-with-container … \\\n --network-interface subnet=DESTINATION-SUBNET-NAME \\\n --network-interface network=SOURCE-NETWORK-NAME\n ```\n\n Replace the following:\n - \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eDESTINATION-SUBNET-NAME\u003c/var\u003e: The name of the destination subnet.\n - \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eSOURCE-NETWORK-NAME\u003c/var\u003e: The name of the source network.\n\nFor more information, see [Create VM instances with multiple network interfaces](/vpc/docs/create-use-multiple-interfaces#creating_virtual_machine_instances_with_multiple_network_interfaces).\n\n### Migrate over the public internet\n\nThis method is recommended when migrating from an on-premise instance or from\nother cloud providers, where there's no existing VPN or Interconnect connection\nto Google Cloud. To use this method, you need to\n[configure your destination AlloyDB cluster to use an outbound public IP address](/alloydb/docs/connect-public-ip#add-outbound-connectivity).\n\n### Migrate from a source in a different Google Cloud project\n\nTo migrate from a source in a different Google Cloud project, you must either migrate over the internet, or, for internal Google Cloud connectivity, use a shared VPC. Select one of the following options:\n\n- Use a shared VPC without a proxy. If you want your AlloyDB cluster to reside in a shared VPC, then simply select the VPC where your source resides when creating the cluster. This way, source and destination have direct connectivity.\n\n- Use a shared VPC with a proxy. If you don't want your AlloyDB cluster to reside in a shared VPC, then you must use an intermediary proxy. You can set up your own proxy solution, but we recommend using the [TCP proxy connectivity method](/database-migration/docs/postgresql-to-alloydb/configure-connectivity-tcp-proxy-via-cloud-hosted-vm). Follow [these guidelines](#intermediaryproxy) to create a TCP proxy with an additional network interface on a shared VPC.\n\n### Migrate without allowing the destination to reach the network of the source\n\nThis method is recommended when migrating from an on-premise network, where there's a concern of opening the network's firewall to incoming Google Cloud traffic. For this scenario, you can set up a reverse proxy using a Compute Engine instance as an intermediary proxy. We recommend using the [reverse SSH connectivity method](/database-migration/docs/postgresql-to-alloydb/configure-connectivity-reverse-ssh-tunnel)."]]
