Google Cloud Optimizer

A Highly Focused Review of Google Cloud Deployments

The Google Cloud Optimizer is a highly focused review of Google Cloud deployments. It has been developed for cloud architects to ensure their services are secure and reliable, manageable during day-to-day operations, and match business needs.

The Google Cloud Optimizer identifies areas where the implemented approach differs from recommended best-practices. By applying best-practices across the organization, you ensure standardization and achieve consistency.

Four Key Principles

The Google Cloud Optimizer has been built around four key principles — operational excellence, security, privacy and compliance, reliability, and performance cost optimization— and provides a consistent approach for organizations to evaluate architectures, and implement designs with the ability to scale over time.

Each principle section provides details on strategies, best practices, design questions, recommendations, and key Google Cloud services.

An optimized architecture leaves no room for doubt

Business Value

The Google Cloud Optimizer indicates concrete points of improvement for your GCP deployment and provides a consistent approach to architecture reviews.

  1. Approaches for automating the build process, implementing monitoring, and disaster recovery planning;

  5. Integrated coaching and skill development for every stakeholder.

Five-Step Approach

A Google Cloud Optimizer is executed with a clearly defined approach. The process is very Binx: designed for efficiency, swiftly executed, delivering concrete and executable outcomes.

  1. Interview – We gather data about workloads by interviewing stakeholders;
  2. Analyze – We cross-analyze reviewed workloads via the guidance offered by the Performance Booster, and extended with our vision on DevOps, QA, Security, and way of working;
  3. Unify – We collate all findings and recommendations in one comprehensive report, including a gap-analysis;
  4. Present – We present the results to product owners, product managers, tech leads, and other stakeholders;
  5. Handover – We hand over the report and remediation plan to your organization.
