What this service covers

A Google Cloud architecture should match the application's runtime, database, networking, security, recovery, and cost needs. I document workload assumptions and compare Compute Engine with relevant managed options before resources are created.

The implementation can include Compute Engine, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, IAM roles, firewall rules, Cloud DNS, TLS, backups, Cloud Monitoring, load balancing, and instance groups. Resources remain in the client-owned Google Cloud organization and are delivered with a configuration summary.

Trial credits, service pricing, quotas, and regional availability are controlled by Google and can change. Budgets and alerts provide visibility but do not guarantee a fixed invoice or automatically stop every charge. Ongoing operations and formal compliance are separate.

Frequently asked questions

Is Google Cloud suitable for a new product?

It can be, but suitability depends on workload, team experience, required services, region, and budget. I compare the architecture and estimated cost before recommending it.

How do I monitor Google Cloud spending?

I configure budgets, billing alerts, labels, and a resource review. Actual charges still depend on usage, data transfer, storage, and Google's current pricing.

Can you migrate my site to Google Cloud?

Yes, after reviewing application compatibility, data, DNS, storage, and downtime requirements. The migration includes agreed tests, cutover steps, and rollback planning.
