AWS to Google Cloud Migration in Leicester
Moving Leicester workloads from AWS to Google Cloud, where the account structure has to be rethought rather than copied. AWS organises isolation through accounts and Google through projects, and permissions attach differently in each — so the security model is redesigned rather than translated, and getting it wrong is how estates end up over-permissioned.
Why this comes up
The problem
AWS roles and policies were reproduced as closely as possible, and the result grants far more than intended.
What you get
What we deliver
- Project structure designed against how teams and environments are separated
- Permissions rebuilt from requirements rather than transcribed from AWS policies
- Service accounts used deliberately, with their keys managed rather than shared
- Managed service differences assessed for each dependency in the estate
- Data transfer volumes and costs established before the move begins
- Networking rebuilt, since the two providers structure connectivity differently

Working in Leicester
East Midlands
Leicester is our home city. We are based here, most of our team lives here, and a good share of our clients are within a half-hour drive — which means site visits, workshops and hardware installs happen in person rather than over a call.
The most common briefs here are ecommerce for the city's textile and food manufacturers, booking systems for its large independent hospitality scene, and stock and logistics integration for distributors along the M1 corridor.

AWS to Google Cloud Migration in Leicester — common questions
- Why can permissions not be copied?
- Because the models differ at the root. AWS attaches policies to users and roles within accounts, while Google grants roles on resources within a project hierarchy that inherits — so a literal translation either over-grants or produces a set nobody can reason about.
- How should projects be organised?
- Around the boundaries you actually need. Projects are the isolation unit, so separating environments and teams into their own with inherited organisation policies is what makes access manageable — deciding this after workloads land is considerably harder.
- What about service account keys?
- They should be avoided where possible. Long-lived keys are the most common source of credential exposure, and workload identity mechanisms let services authenticate without them — which is worth adopting during the migration rather than retrofitting.
- How different are the equivalent services?
- Comparable in purpose and different in detail. Storage, queuing and managed databases all have counterparts with their own limits, consistency behaviour and pricing shape, so each dependency needs assessing individually rather than assumed to be a drop-in replacement.
- Do you work with businesses across Leicestershire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Leicester and the surrounding Leicestershire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Leicester businesses do you usually work with?
- The most common briefs here are ecommerce for the city's textile and food manufacturers, booking systems for its large independent hospitality scene, and stock and logistics integration for distributors along the M1 corridor. Beyond that we work across Manufacturing, Textiles & Fashion, Logistics, Food & Drink, Retail and Higher Education.
- Do you cover the areas around Leicester?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Loughborough, Nottingham, Derby, Coventry, Northampton. Leicester is an urban area of roughly 560,000+, and we take on work across the wider Leicestershire region rather than the city boundary alone.
