03 — Cloud Solutions · Cloud platforms

Google Cloud is strong in data analytics, containers and machine learning. We help teams set up a well-governed Google Cloud foundation, run applications on GKE and Cloud Run, and build analytics platforms on BigQuery — with security and cost controls in place from the first project.

What this solves

The problems Google Cloud Solutions solves.

Landing zones, GKE, Cloud Run, BigQuery and migration on Google Cloud.

  1. 01

    Projects were created ad hoc without a folder and policy structure.

  2. 02

    BigQuery costs are unpredictable.

  3. 03

    Container workloads need a reliable, managed platform.

  4. 04

    Marketing and product data sit in Google tools but aren't joined up.

Capabilities

What Google Cloud Solutions covers.

Key concepts

What Google Cloud does particularly well.

Google Cloud is a strong choice for analytics-heavy and container-first teams. We design around its strengths and its resource hierarchy.

Resource hierarchy
Organisation, folders and projects, with IAM and organisation policies inherited down the tree.
BigQuery
Serverless analytics at scale, with slot reservations or on-demand pricing chosen by workload.
GKE and Cloud Run
Managed Kubernetes for complex platforms; Cloud Run for containers that should scale to zero.
Networking
Global VPCs and Shared VPC so central teams manage networks while projects deploy workloads.
Vertex AI
Model training, serving and Gemini access close to the data already in BigQuery.
Security
Security Command Center, VPC Service Controls around sensitive data and Cloud Audit Logs.

Business benefits

Why it's worth it.

  • Strong analytics

    BigQuery and Looker turn data into insight at scale.

  • Simple container hosting

    Cloud Run and GKE reduce operational overhead.

  • Governed projects

    Policies and structure keep the estate manageable.

Where it fits

When Google Cloud Solutions is the right move.

  1. 01A marketing or product analytics platform on BigQuery.
  2. 02A containerized application moving to Cloud Run or GKE.
  3. 03An existing Google Cloud estate needing structure and cost control.

FAQ

Google Cloud Solutions questions.

Can Google Cloud connect with our Google Analytics and Ads data?

Yes. GA4 can export to BigQuery, and Google Ads data can be loaded with the BigQuery Data Transfer Service, which makes joined-up marketing analytics practical.

How do we control BigQuery costs?

With partitioning and clustering, query limits, reservations where they make sense, and monitoring of expensive queries.

Do you support Vertex AI?

Yes. Our AI/ML team works with Vertex AI for model training, deployment and generative AI use cases where it fits.
