Migrate to Virtual Machines

Migrate to Virtual Machines handles the lift-and-shift of enterprise workloads onto Google Cloud. It focuses on moving existing virtual machines quickly while minimizing downtime and risk during the transition. This service is specifically built for organizations needing to relocate legacy compute environments without significant architectural changes, prioritizing stability and speed in the migration process itself.

This approach suits enterprises with substantial on-premises VM fleets looking for a straightforward path to cloud infrastructure. The main friction point is the complete absence of a free tier. You are locked into a strict pay-as-you-go model from day one, meaning there is no sandbox or trial period to test migration workflows before incurring actual costs.
