Google Cloud infrastructure, built in Terraform
Manually configured cloud environments cause release delays, outages, security gaps and runaway costs. We build production-ready Google Cloud environments in Terraform, in your own repositories, so your development and data teams have a reliable base to build on.
What we do
- Cloud foundations and landing zones: Organisation structure, IAM guardrails, budget alerts and zero-trust networking.
- AWS to Google Cloud migration: Moving workloads and databases off AWS. Hapana moved its global platform in 10 months with zero minutes of cutover downtime. Read the case study.
- Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE): Move on-premises VMware workloads to Google Cloud without refactoring them.
- High-performance computing (HPC): On-demand clusters of 1,000+ cores for simulation and analytics.
Security and operations
Every environment is built with our security practice, and our SRE team can run it 24/7 once it is live.
Further reading
- Google Cloud organisation policies: enforce security, location and IAM guardrails centrally with Terraform.
- Is your Google Cloud bill out of control?: cut idle capacity, right-size VMs and reduce network egress.
- Vendor lock-in: why we think it is a myth: container portability, open data formats and practical multi-cloud.
Key Deliverables
Infrastructure case studies
Named clients and the results they agreed to publish.
Cross-Cloud AWS to Google Cloud Modernization for Fitness Platform Hapana
Migrated millions of active workouts, global member billing, and IoT facility door access controllers from AWS to a secure Google Cloud Run landing zone with zero cutover downtime.
1,000-Core On-Demand Supercomputer for Global Engineering Leader
Engineered an elastic Slurm HPC cluster on Google Cloud with Scale-to-Zero automation, delivering 10x faster simulation turnaround with zero idle compute waste.
Confirm Control: Real-Time Field Risk Governance & Compliance
Architected an offline-first Flutter mobile application with serverless Google Cloud Firestore backend to digitize field hazard logging and APRA-compliant risk governance.
Infrastructure: questions we get asked
What does an infrastructure engagement actually deliver?
A landing zone you can hand to your own engineers: networking, identity, org policy and guardrails, all in Terraform, with the state and the pipelines in your repositories. No console clicking that nobody can reproduce.
How much does a cloud foundation cost?
Serverless foundations without networking or advanced security start at $45,000. Full networking adds $25,000. VPC Service Controls adds a further $20,000. All fixed price, quoted in your local currency.
Can you migrate us off AWS or Azure?
Yes, that is most of what we do. We migrate, replatform and rearchitect onto Google Cloud rather than tuning what you have. We try to get these fully funded by Google so the migration costs you nothing, though that depends on the workload and needs an assessment first to confirm.
What happens to our VMware estate?
Google Cloud VMware Engine takes it as-is, which avoids a rewrite you may not want. From there you modernise the workloads that justify it and leave the rest alone.
Do you hand over, or do you stay?
Either. Some clients take the Terraform and run it themselves, which is the point of building it that way. Others move onto a managed SRE retainer, which starts at $5,000 a month for the first workload.
Talk to an architect who has done this before.
Bring your current setup and the outcome you need. You will get a view on the approach, the risks and roughly what it costs.
Straight to a senior GCP architect. No SDR, no slide deck.
