We’re excited to share that WordPress VIP now supports Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure for log and backup shipping expanding beyond our previous AWS S3-only configuration.
Whether your infrastructure runs on AWS, GCP, or Azure, you can now store logs and backups where it fits best for your organization. This update helps your team align WordPress VIP’s data flows with your existing cloud strategy and compliance needs all while maintaining the same reliability and automation you expect.
Why It Matters
Many enterprise teams operate across multiple cloud providers or have compliance rules that require storage in specific regions or platforms. Until now, off-site storage required AWS S3. With support for GCP and Azure, your team gains greater flexibility, avoids single-provider dependencies, and can better integrate VIP into your broader cloud ecosystem.
What’s Included
- Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Support: Configure GCP buckets for both log and backup shipping.
- Microsoft Azure Support: Use Azure Blob Storage as a destination for your shipped data.
- Unified Configuration: Manage all destinations directly within the Log Shipping and Backup Shipping settings in your VIP Dashboard.
- Provider-Agnostic Workflows: Retain the same performance, structure, and data integrity; no matter your storage platform.
Get Started
To start shipping logs and backups to GCP or Azure, visit your the Log or Backup Shipping Section of your VIP Dashboard and update your storage configuration.
