What's included

• Managed Google Cloud DevOps Infrastructure Setup & Initial Implementation

  Description: I will provide a fully operational and managed Google Cloud Platform DevOps infrastructure, custom built to your project requirements. This includes: CI/CD Pipeline: A fully functional CI/CD pipeline setup using Google Cloud Build and Cloud Deploy (or equivalent based on project needs). This includes the initial setup, configuration and testing for up to 2 code branches (e.g. main & development). The code deployment is automated to a pre-defined, non-production enviroment. I will provide guidance on how to add additional branches for future deployments, with the use of Google Cloud Build triggers. Infrastructure-as-Code: An initial IaC configuration using Terraform for your project's core infrastructure components. This setup will include a detailed README for future maintainance and modification. Monitoring & Logging Setup: Basic implementation of monitoring (using Cloud Monitoring) and logging (using Cloud Logging) integrated with your deployed applications to provide visibility into the performance and health of your project. Includes a selection of custom alerts, which will be provided, with instructions on how to use them and also modify them or add new ones. Documentation: I will deliver full written documentation to you, including but not limited to the IaC configuration and the CI/CD pipeline. This documentation will explain the implemented infrastructure, the deploy process, and how to make changes. The documentation will be delivered as a PDF. Format: Infrastructure is deployed as code using Terraform and CI/CD as a code, including configuration files. Documentation will be in a PDF format. Quantities: This deliverable includes the set-up of a single initial environment. It will include 1 (one) CI/CD pipeline for up to 2 code branches, initial infrastructure set up, logging and monitoring. Revisions: The client will have up to 2 rounds of revisions for the core implementation of the CI/CD pipeline and infrastructure setup. Any deviations or new features required during revision may be subject to further negotiation for an additional fee. Minor documentation updates will always be provided. Additional Details: This deliverable is designed to provide the initial basis for future deployments and iterations. It provides a strong base from which you can continue to scale or to add more features on your own.

• Google Cloud Data Storage & Management Setup

  Description:I will establish a secure and efficient data storage and management solution within Google Cloud Platform tailored to your application’s needs. This includes: Storage Solution Configuration: Setting up the appropriate Google Cloud storage infrastructure based on your data requirements, whether that be object storage, block storage, managed databases, or other suitable options. This includes initial bucket creation (up to 2) and connection of your application to these storage facilities. Data Access Management: Implementing secure data access policies using Google Cloud IAM (Identity and Access Management) to ensure authorized access only. This includes defining roles and permissions for up to 2 different types of user groups. Data Backup & Recovery Strategy: Implementing basic data backup and recovery procedures, including configuration of snapshots, for the storage solutions. Initial Data Migration: (If required) A one-time migration of existing data into the configured Google Cloud storage solutions, from source provided by the client. The migration will be limited to an amount of 10 Gb and will be performed with standard google cloud cli tools. Documentation: Comprehensive documentation of the storage architecture, data access policies, backup procedures and data migration process, provided in PDF format. Format: Storage configurations will be implemented via Google Cloud CLI and the documentation will be in a PDF format. Quantities: This deliverable includes initial set up of up to 2 different storage solutions, one initial data migration process, and a basic configuration of backup and restore. Revisions: The client will have up to 1 round of revisions specifically for changes to the IAM policies or storage bucket settings. Changes to the Data migration can not be revised, unless the client has not provided the right data format/structure. Additional Details: This deliverable provides a functional and secure storage solution within Google Cloud, ready for immediate data use. It is intended as a basic storage structure ready to handle an initial phase or a small/medium project.

• Google Cloud Cost Optimization Analysis & Implementation

  Description: I will perform a detailed analysis of your Google Cloud usage patterns and implement practical strategies to optimize your spending. This deliverable includes: Cost Analysis Report: A comprehensive analysis of your current Google Cloud consumption, including a breakdown of costs by service, project, and resource. This analysis will be based on Google Cloud Cost Management tools. The report will be delivered in a PDF format. Optimization Recommendations: Based on the analysis, I will provide detailed recommendations for reducing your Google Cloud costs. These recommendations will cover potential areas such as resource rightsizing, identifying and eliminating unused resources, exploring commited use discounts, spot instances, and other cost-saving options, as well as recommendations for specific storage solutions, according to the real application use. Implementation Plan: A detailed plan for implementing the optimization recommendations, including the steps to be taken and an estimated timeframe. Cost Monitoring Dashboard: A simple dashboard in Google Data Studio or similar visualization tool setup to monitor your Google Cloud spending, and alert when costs go out of a certain parameter. Documentation: Concise documentation about the report, the optimization recommendations, the implementation plan and the dashboard, provided in PDF format. Format: The cost analysis report and the documentation will be provided as PDF documents. The dashboard will be delivered as a shareable URL. Quantities: This deliverable includes one comprehensive cost analysis, one set of recommendations, and the implementation plan. The cost monitoring dashboard is delivered with a default configuration. Revisions: The client will have up to 1 round of revisions for the recommendations provided and the implementation plan, any further revisions would need an additional budget. Additional Details: The goal of this deliverable is to provide the client with actionable information and tools to control and lower their cloud costs. It will provide a roadmap for ongoing cost optimization. It should be understood as a first step on cost optimization.
