Preview a VKS service extension into GKE

Read the modern VKS app, then show the one GCP control-plane view that would matter if that service ever needed to burst outward.

Use the VKS cluster as the primary app surface, then check one GCP cluster or SQL landing point as a future extension path.

3 phases
>
phase 01Read VCF and VKS baselinelive

Read the VCF/VKS side first so the cloud touchpoint has context and a bounded blast radius.

2 cmds
  1. 01
    Confirm the containerized workload is healthy inside the VCF-backed namespace first.
  2. 02
    Read the rollout status so the service looks settled before any cloud talk begins.
>
phase 02Touch one cloud primitivelive

Make one deliberately small cloud interaction that complements the VCF workload instead of replacing it.

2 cmds
  1. 01
    Use a simple cluster read as the one GCP interaction in the workflow.
  2. 02
    Show the alternative managed data landing spot without moving the current dataset.
>
phase 03Prove the workflowlive

Confirm the mixed workflow is observable end to end and leaves a clear operator narrative behind it.

2 cmds
  1. 01
    Return to the live dataset so the flow lands back inside the VCF application boundary.
  2. 02
    Show that even the cloud side remains intentionally tiny and observable.
