Google Cloud (GCP) consultants and DevOps engineers

Google Cloud consultants and cloud architects assess existing infrastructure or design foundations for new workloads. They turn application requirements into a GCP architecture with explicit access boundaries and operating costs.

• Landing zones: Configure organization and project structures, billing boundaries and organization policies. Capture repeatable configuration in Terraform.
• Networking and access: Configure VPC networks and hybrid connectivity. Review IAM permissions and service accounts against least-privilege requirements, with documented access paths for applications and administrators.

GCP DevOps engineers replace manual release steps with version-controlled pipelines using Cloud Build or GitHub Actions. They configure Artifact Registry and deployment approvals, with rollback procedures matched to the application.

For container workloads, Kubernetes engineers configure Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), including workload identity and autoscaling. Cloud Run specialists configure application deployment and service access where a managed runtime fits. Terraform modules and environment-specific configuration keep infrastructure changes reviewable alongside application code.

Bring in Google Cloud migration consultants to assess application dependencies and choose between Compute Engine and managed services. They prepare migration runbooks with cutover criteria and recovery steps, then validate application behaviour in the target environment.

Cloud SQL specialists handle database migration and connection changes. For analytics workloads, GCP data engineers build ingestion into BigQuery and validate reconciliation against source systems. Migration work includes transfer testing and access checks before production traffic moves.

GCP engineers investigate recurring incidents and take responsibility for infrastructure maintenance alongside your existing support arrangements. They configure Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging around service-level objectives, with alerts tied to actionable runbooks.

Cost reviews examine billing exports and workload utilization before engineers recommend rightsizing or committed use discounts. For recovery readiness, specialists configure backups and test restoration procedures against agreed recovery objectives. They also plan GKE upgrades and resolve infrastructure drift through reviewed Terraform changes.
