Summary

I hope you are convinced about the benefits of choosing Google Cloud and how it is the best platform to help your organization simplify its development and infrastructure-related work to put more focus on innovation by completing your digital transformation, which will help you become much more competitive in your field.

In the next chapter, I will describe how developers work in legacy environments and highlight the differences in development workflows once you move to the cloud in general and Google Cloud in particular.

But before closing this chapter, and especially if you are new to the platform, before your development journey begins, I would recommend you make sure that someone in your organization takes care of building a proper Google Cloud Foundation by completing the 10-step checklist at https://cloud.google.com/docs/enterprise/setup-checklist.

And if you need more details about how to complete these steps, Packt has published an amazing book about it that I had the pleasure to review, called The Ultimate Guide to Building a Cloud Foundation (https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Guide-Building-Google-Foundation/dp/1803240857), so that you can start developing with peace of mind, knowing that all the basics have been taken care of.
