Why each option
Migrating to Google Cloud reduces operational burden by offloading hardware procurement and software maintenance to Google, freeing the IT team to focus on core business innovation.
Serverless options simplify infrastructure management but application architecture still requires significant design effort for migration and decomposition.
Google Cloud's managed services handle OS patching, security updates, and software upgrades automatically, meaning the IT team no longer needs to schedule or execute these tasks manually. This directly reduces operational toil and lets staff focus on higher-value work.
Cloud eliminates the capital expenditure cycle of procuring, provisioning, and refreshing physical hardware - Google manages the underlying infrastructure, so the IT team does not need to plan or execute hardware lifecycle activities.
Cloud billing requires active budgeting and cost management - cloud spend can grow unpredictably without governance, so billing is not automatically resolved.
