Google Cloud Migration Center

Purpose: Google Cloud Migration Center is a unified platform for moving from on-premises or other cloud environments to Google Cloud.
Cost estimates: It provides rapid estimates of future Google Cloud costs based on the size and configuration of existing resources.
Asset discovery: It can inventory servers and Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL databases through automatic scanning or manual data upload.
Assessment: Assessments can report total cost of ownership, identify application and network dependencies, and suggest Google Cloud destinations based on technical fit.
Migration planning: The platform provides migration planning tools, best practices, and recommendations on what to migrate and how.
Migration strategies: Migration tools support strategies including rehost, replatform, and refactor.
Collection options: Infrastructure data can be collected through automated one-time collection, automated continuous collection, or manual import.
Cloud sources: Documented discovery methods cover AWS assets and Azure virtual machines in preview, as well as on-premises servers and virtual machines.
Offline assessment: The discovery client CLI runs on Linux and Windows hosts and can create offline assessment reports without uploading sensitive data to Google Cloud.
Discovery client limits: The installed discovery client runs only on Windows machines, scans Windows and Linux devices, and does not support database asset discovery.
Security: Discovery client communication to Google Cloud is authenticated with a service account and encrypted using SSL/TLS; collected PII, SPII, and secrets are encrypted at rest with AES128_GCM and Windows DPAPI.
Data collection privacy: Migration Center says it does not collect application or file-storage data, and, apart from IP addresses, does not collect PII or data subject to PCI or HIPAA compliance requirements.
Preview feature: Quick TCO Estimator is a Gemini-powered preview for automated TCO estimates and is available in four listed Google Cloud regions.
