GCP GKE Standard Magento 2.4.9 and Valkey 9.0 repeat cell - 2026-08-15

Status: PASS for a bounded repeatability cell. This run repeats the current GKE Standard Magento boundary already recorded by 20260813an; it is not a new architecture claim.

Scope

Field Value
Provider Google Cloud
Project and region redacted disposable project / europe-west1
Run ID gcpstd20260815
Profile and runtime standard / GKE Standard

The create-once graph contained 56 resources and completed in 17m58s. The application runtime reached two ready web replicas. The harness used the profile-scoped 13-cell Standard catalog.

Cell results

All 13 cells passed:

The harness verified Cloud SQL MYSQL_8_4 for Magento 2.4.9, imported the installed schema, reported Magento CLI 2.4.9, completed the candidate migration, observed two ready of two desired web replicas, and verified one RabbitMQ replica with cluster membership.

Cleanup

The first Pulumi destroy pass deleted 36 resources, then hit the known Google Service Networking producer-release error. The bounded cleanup path confirmed the producer resources were gone, soaked the PSA path for 180 seconds, and removed the exact run-owned GKE node pool, GKE cluster, Valkey instance, Cloud SQL instance, PSA resources, network, secrets, WIF identity, and state bucket. Observed provider deletion durations included 634 seconds for Valkey, 274 seconds for the GKE cluster, 263 seconds for the node pool, and 82 seconds for Cloud SQL.

The harness exited 0 with assert_clean ok. Independent post-run checks found no run-matching GKE cluster, Cloud SQL instance, Memorystore instance, storage bucket, Workload Identity pool, or Secret Manager secret. The exact ownership inventory also found no active run-owned network or state resources.

Boundary and correction

This run confirms Memorystore VALKEY_9_0 on GKE Standard Magento with cleanup convergence. The older 2026-08-07 HA record used Valkey 8.0; a current 2.4.9 HA application cell with Valkey 9.0 remains open.

This evidence does not prove public Magento HTTP or TLS traffic, Cloud Armor request behavior, HA failure injection, backup or restore, regional DR, fencing or failback, collector delivery, New Relic composition, or any other provider architecture.
