AWS vs Google Cloud, practically
AWS has the largest range of managed services and enterprise tooling. Google Cloud is often simpler to manage for teams already using Google Workspace and tends to have a gentler learning curve for smaller teams.
Planning a safe migration
A good migration stages the new environment fully, tests it under real traffic, and only switches DNS once monitoring confirms everything works — avoiding downtime during cutover.
Cloud migration checklist
- Full inventory of current infrastructure
- Staged environment tested before cutover
- Monitoring & alerting configured before go-live
- Rollback plan documented
