Yes. Huge AWS -> GCP migration.
Why? Incoming CTO signed a massive GCP deal probably because it was marginally cheaper than AWS (while probably ignoring the migration costs).
- amir734jj 5y agoSame thing happened to my old company (large insurance company). Moved from Azure to AWS + Terraform/Kubernetes because of cost and "cloud independent" nature of Terraform. The whole IT department spent 2+ years moving hundreds of (relatively modern + legacy) services and applications. Some services couldn't move because they were managed by third-party. I am pretty sure they didn't factor in the cost of migration.
