Infrastructure Leader's Guide to Google Cloud: Lead Your Organization's Google Cloud Adoption, Migration and Modernization Journey

Making fast and accurate technology decisions is critical to staying relevant to your customers. And technology needs to add value back to your organization quicker than ever. Google Cloud offers IT leaders the answer to today's technology challenges. However, to realize its benefits you must navigate your journey without hitting common pitfalls that lead to stalled and unsuccessful cloud adoption.

This book distills the lessons learned from guiding and working with hundreds of organizations on their journey to the cloud. Its goal is to give aspiring and current IT leaders the knowledge required to be an infrastructure leader.

Of course, cloud adoption isn't a solo endeavor. Jeremy covers the different generations of IT leaders, the team structure, and the skills required for a successful migration to Google Cloud. This book also covers why you should choose Google Cloud, how to build a business case for the cloud, and defining your adoption/migration/modernization strategies and cloud operating model. Finally, the book covers how to empower your developers to deploy cloud-native applications and how to support day two operations once you have moved to Google Cloud.
