Without strong post-migration operations, businesses risk performance issues, cost overruns, and compliance gaps that can undermine the value of their cloud investment.

Too often, teams complete cloud migrations but lack a framework for sustaining efficiency. This results in underutilised resources, reactive troubleshooting, missed cost optimisations, and growing complexity that limits agility.

Google Cloud Architecture Framework highlights operational excellence as a core pillar of successful cloud adoption.

Cloud Platform Operations (CPO) ensures that once you’ve landed on Google Cloud, you can operate with control. It supports:

• Workload Stabilisation: Ensure services run as expected, with the right configurations and health checks.
• Ongoing Monitoring: Implement Cloud Monitoring and custom dashboards for real-time visibility.
• Cost Governance: Track and optimise resource usage post-migration with Cloud Billing.
• Security and IAM Review: Validate and enforce access controls using Cloud IAM.
• Automation Setup: Introduce scaling rules, backups, and policy-as-code for smoother operations.

A successful move to GCP includes what happens after cutover. GCP CPO ensures your platform remains efficient, compliant, and ready to support your long-term goals.
