Hybrid local to GCP: portable local profile

Execute the original producer/consumer file-content checks in two Docker activities on one local host. The local profile verifies actual file handoff and receipt content. It does not measure GCP provisioning, Kubernetes placement, or cross-cloud networking.

The original cloud placement definition remains available as a separate historical version in Hub. It requires the GCP/Kind setup from the documentation. The words cloud consumed in the receipt are an inherited fixture label, not evidence that a cloud VM was used.

Activities and data

1. produce writes the original synthetic fixture akoflow-local-to-gcp to handoff.txt.
2. AkôFlow materializes this declared dependency into the consumer workspace.
3. consume checks the exact bytes and writes receipt.txt. Each activity records its successful completion after the content checks pass.

The fixture is generated inline; no external dataset, account or secret is needed for this local profile.

Local execution

Install Go 1.23+ for the standalone command, or use AkôFlow Desktop/server with Docker. From this directory:

./prepare.sh && ./run.sh && ./validate.sh

For the daemon, import environment.yaml, scope.yaml, topology.yaml, and the digest-pinned YAML returned by Hub. Build a plan and execute it locally. Review the runtime configuration before choosing any original cloud placement variant.

Actual homeserver results

Run hubv1-showcase-hybrid-local-cloud-profile-local-20e3b38d5e-run-20261115t062433.257379903 completed 2/2 activities in 1.382106065750122 seconds. These are measured Docker-backed computations, not simulated timing. The captured manual plan uses placeholder predicted timings; those predictions are not benchmark measurements. Use the observed execution metrics for performance analysis. Cost is the configured local compute cost and excludes electricity and hardware.

Inputs and outputs

Input fixtures and their generation code are in this bundle's data/ and scripts/ directories; inspect them together with the workflow definition and bundle configuration for profile assumptions. Fixtures are generated by the included code unless a bundle identifies an upstream dataset. No repository-wide LICENSE file is currently present: inspect the bundle and upstream terms before redistributing source or data; publication here does not grant additional rights. Outputs expected from this workflow:

• handoff.txt
• receipt.txt
