Your migration to Google Cloud

Perform a thorough assessment and analysis of your existing environment. This way you will understand your app and environment inventory, identify app dependencies and requirements. In the assess phase you calculate the total cost of ownership and establish app performance benchmarks. 

The focus in the phase is to create the basic cloud infrastructure for your workloads. Plan which apps you will and how. This planning includes several key elements:

• Identity management
• Organisation and project structure
• Networking
• Sorting your apps
• Developing a prioritised migration strategy

Building a foundation of critical configurations and services is an evolving process so make sure there is room for changes. 

Design, implement and execute the deployment process to move workloads to Google Cloud. To deal with new needs, you might also have to refine your cloud infrastructure.

During the deployment process you probably will have to refine your process & revisit the foundation of your environment. New needs can arise as you become more proficient with the new cloud environment, platforms, services, and tools. Take into account how much automation and flexibility you need

Take full advantage of cloud-native technologies and capabilities to expand your organisation's potential  in terms of performance, scalability, disaster recovery, costs & training. Optimize your organisation by going one step further with machine learning and artificial intelligence integrations for your app.

Complete every step of this path to make sure every key milestone on your journey to the Cloud is successfully implemented.
