Single service comparison

Google Cloud Marketplace exposes a structured Procurement API for entitlement lifecycle (entitlement create, approve, reject, cancel) and a Partner Procurement API so publishers automate provisioning, plan changes, and suspend billing against customer orders. KooGallery is a commercial storefront operated by Huawei Cloud with separate seller/buyer consoles (Cloud Store seller center, buyer center) and seller onboarding; it does not expose a comparable programmatic procurement API focused on entitlement orchestration, so automation must instead use ServiceStage, ROMA Connect, or console workflows rather than a single marketplace entitlement contract.

Listing and billing scope differ materially. Google bills infrastructure metered usage plus publisher-defined license or usage meters on one consolidated invoice, and supports private offers, flexible payment schedules, and data-product listings. KooGallery lists software, solutions, and professional services from Huawei partners; settlement is offer-specific licensing or seat/usage fees settled through the Huawei Cloud billing center, often as separate ISV transactions rather than a unified metered entitlement. Regional availability, partner catalog breadth, and listing-approval standards also differ and must be checked per Huawei region before assuming parity.

Access control and integration boundaries differ. Google Cloud Marketplace ties entitlements to Cloud IAM principals and Cloud Billing accounts, and integrates with Deployment Manager, Terraform-based solutions, and GCP service APIs for one-click packaged deployments. KooGallery subscriptions bind to Huawei Cloud IAM users and accounts and integrate with the Huawei Cloud console, Customer Center, and billing; deployment of the purchased software is generally manual via the partner or via Huawei services such as ECS/IMS images, CCE, or ServiceStage rather than a Marketplace-native one-click provisioning contract.

Assessment and target choice: Inventory every Google Cloud Marketplace entitlement, distinguishing packaged infrastructure deployments, SaaS subscriptions, and data products. For each, map to a KooGallery listing where an equivalent partner offering exists; for packaged deployments that depend on GCP-native packaging, plan to re-create the deployment on Huawei Cloud using ECS/IMS images, CCE, or ServiceStage blueprints. Do not assume feature-for-feature catalog parity; document listings that have no KooGallery equivalent and either retain them on GCP or engage the Huawei partner directly for an equivalent solution.

Data, configuration, and application migration: Migrate the underlying workloads first using Huawei migration tooling appropriate to the asset class, for example Data Replication Service (DRS) for databases, SMS or OMAP for hosts, and ROMA Connect for application and API integration. Re-provision marketplace SaaS subscriptions manually in KooGallery and reset IAM assignments, billing-account linkage, and notification routing. For packaged solutions, re-apply provisioning logic through Huawei-native templates so the resulting topology matches the source listing rather than porting GCP-specific artifacts unchanged.

Validation and cutover: Validate entitlement provisioning, sign-on, metering feeds, and the seller-side billing reconciliation against the Huawei Cloud billing center before cutover. Confirm that license keys, seat counts, support entitlements, and SLAs recorded in the KooGallery order match what the publisher provisions. Run financial reconciliation against the consolidated Huawei invoice and verify cross-region or interconnect billing where listed solutions span multiple Huawei regions; do not declare cutover completed until procurement, IAM, and billing all reference the new KooGallery entitlements.

Important gaps and cost-model changes: KooGallery has no public equivalent to Google's Procurement API, so any automation previously built around entitlement events must be re-architected to console, partner-API, or ticket-driven flows, or replaced with custom ROMA Connect integrations. Recalculate total cost of ownership: Google typically bills one combined invoice for infrastructure plus metered license; Huawei settles offer-specific license or seat charges, sometimes as separate ISV invoices, plus infrastructure usage and any cross-region traffic. Build expected peak load, request volume, retention, and settlement-currency effects into the model and confirm publishing/settlement terms with the Huawei partner before production migration.
