PRIYANKA VERGADIA: If you are migrating to Google Cloud,
you are probably wondering how your team's responsibilities
might change.
How do you ensure that users remain
in continuous compliance, and how do you manage and analyze
cost?
Well, keep watching as we answer some of these questions.

Welcome to Cloud migration 101, where we share migration tips
and tricks.
In the last two episodes, we learned
about resource hierarchies, access control,
permissions using IAM, security, networking, and monitoring
within Google Cloud.
Today, let's address some of the questions
that impact your broader business objectives.
For this, let's get Travis back.
TRAVIS WEBB: Hi, I'm Travis.
Today, we are going to focus on three main questions
that business stakeholders worry about during a migration.
As you migrate to Cloud, how will your IT responsibilities
and business processes change?
How can you support and meet your regulatory compliance
requirements?
And how will you assess and analyze costs and billing?
Let's get started with the most common scenario.
You have owned and operated your data center for years.
How will your ownership, access, and responsibility
change as you migrate to Google Cloud?
During and after your migration, the shared responsibilities
between you and Google Cloud may be different than those
you were used to.
The processes to provision, configure, and consume
resources might also differ.
We have added a link in the description
for the terms of service and the Google security model that
will provide you an overview of the contractual relationship
between your organization and Google.
You're probably wondering how can you support or meet
your regulatory compliance needs--
for example, HIPAA or GDPR--
during and after your migration to Google Cloud.
We provide a robust compliance resource center
that can provide information about industry, region,
and sector-specific regulations, like PCI, GDPR, HIPAA,
FedRAMP, and many more.
If geography and data residency are critical factors for you,
Google offers resource location constraints
to ensure workload compliance with data residency
requirements and direct regionality controls
for many of our services.
Now, as you move to Google Cloud,
how can you make sure that your users support and meet
your compliance needs?
Developing a governance strategy is
important to create alignment among stakeholders
in business leadership.
When planning your migration, you
want to establish standards around things
like naming conventions, labeling strategies, access
and security controls, and cost controls.
Speaking of cost, Cloud Billing helps you control, assess,
and analyze cost.
It allows you to attribute spending
on a particular project or workload to the correct cost
center.
You can also set up alerts for your spending budget.
For example, you could use Cloud Functions
to enforce and monitor a compliance S code solution
to verify names and labels on provisioned resources,
and inspect your own IAM policies and resource
hierarchy to ensure the standards are being followed.
With this solution, you gain full auditing capabilities
as a byproduct of every service and action.
The last question I would like you to answer for yourself
and your organization is, what type of support and help
you need in order to take on the migration?
The answer could be, you will do it all yourself
with the help of training and certifications,
or you would do it partially with a partner,
or completely handed off to a partner.
You have options depending on where
you are in your Cloud journey.
Talk to your Google team for best guidance.
PRIYANKA VERGADIA: All right, Travis, I got this.
TRAVIS WEBB: All right, back to you.
PRIYANKA VERGADIA: That was amazing.
We learned about governance, billing,
and some important enterprise considerations
like shared responsibility models and data residency.
