Google has shared insights into Google IT's journey of adopting Google Cloud services. This article provides a fascinating look at how a massive organization like Google approaches migrating its infrastructure to the cloud. What I found particularly interesting was their emphasis on cloud enablement first and then modernization. It was impressive to see how they prioritized applications that could be easily migrated and worked with Google Cloud to develop new features for those that couldn't. Their focus on deployment automation and configuration management is also crucial for ensuring success at scale. Their vision of being a "multi-environment enterprise" with workloads running on GKE, GCE, and even traditional data centers is very realistic. It highlights that moving to the cloud is not a one-size-fits-all approach but about finding the best solution for each workload. The challenges they faced regarding enterprise governance and multi-footprint optimization are something many organizations will relate to. Google's willingness to share their experiences and insights is an invaluable resource for anyone considering or already undergoing a cloud migration.
