Enkel | Solutions - GCP to AWS Migration

GCP to AWS Migration

While Google Cloud is a strong choice for data analytics and machine learning, many companies choose to migrate to AWS due to:

Greater cost predictability and optimization with Savings Plans and Spot Instances
Broader global coverage and resilience, ensuring low latency
More mature infrastructure for enterprise and hybrid workloads
A wider range of specialized instances and services to drive innovation

As an AWS Advanced Partner, Enkel leads GCP-to-AWS migrations with a structured approach that ensures security, performance, and financial efficiency.

Enkel Approach: How We Drive Your Migration

Our process follows the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) and includes:

Analysis of the current GCP environment and associated costs
Defining the best-fit migration strategy: Rehost, Replatform, or Refactor
Projecting cost and performance optimization with AWS

Migration Execution

Use of tools like AWS Migration Hub and AWS DataSync
Automated migration to reduce operational impact
Active monitoring to ensure service continuity

Post-Migration Optimization

Cost optimization adjustments with AWS Cost Explorer and FinOps strategies
Applying the AWS Well-Architected Framework for operational excellence
Ongoing monitoring for performance and security

Comparison: AWS vs. GCP

Criteria	AWS	GCP
Global Coverage	32 regions & 102 availability zones	38 regions
Cost Predictability	Savings Plans, Spot Instances, Reserved Instances	Variable and less predictable pricing
Security & Compliance	Robust certifications and dedicated tools	Strong security, but fewer native tools
Open Source Support	Native support for Kubernetes, Linux, PostgreSQL, MySQL	Strong in BigQuery and AI, but less broad
Scalability	On-demand expansion without disruption	Some limitations in regional scaling

Strategic Benefits of Migrating to AWS

Greater cost control and operational efficiency
More secure and resilient infrastructure for critical workloads
Support for hybrid and multicloud environments
A broader selection of specialized services for analytics, AI/ML, and IoT
