From a networking point of view, Database Migration Service and AlloyDB for PostgreSQL are
service producers that reside in their own dedicated networks
(known as service networks), outside the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
networks that you use in your Google Cloud project.
The goal of configuring network connectivity for a migration process is to
ensure that Database Migration Service can reach your source
SQL Server database and the destination AlloyDB for PostgreSQL
cluster.
Before you configure the source or destination databases, we recommend
that you consider what networking methods you can use to establish the
necessary network connections. See the following pages:
Networking overview describes the high-level, end-to-end
migration networking landscape.
