AWS to Google Cloud Migration in Oxford
Moving Oxford 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 Oxford
South East
Oxford's economy runs on research and life sciences, and a lot of the work here starts with a research group or spin-out that needs a prototype turned into something other people can safely use.
Research groups and spin-outs needing a prototype turned into a supportable product make up most of the local demand.

AWS to Google Cloud Migration in Oxford — 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 Oxfordshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Oxford and the surrounding Oxfordshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Oxford businesses do you usually work with?
- Research groups and spin-outs needing a prototype turned into a supportable product make up most of the local demand. Beyond that we work across Research & Higher Education, Life Sciences, Publishing, Technology and Tourism.
- Do you cover the areas around Oxford?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including Reading, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, London. Oxford is an urban area of roughly 170,000+, and we take on work across the wider Oxfordshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
