New AI-powered quick assessments in Migration Center turbocharge modernization

Google Cloud announced AI-powered Quick Assessments in its Migration Center, enabling near-instant total cost of ownership (TCO) modeling and automated service mapping for enterprise customers and partners. The new Gemini-powered features, integrated into the Migration Center, convert VMware inventory exports or aggregated infrastructure inputs into precise Compute Engine cost targets, reducing migration financial modeling from months to minutes. The tool includes an agentic assistant that explains financial assumptions, recommends cost optimizations, and exports executive reports.

Technology leaders are under mounting pressure to modernize infrastructure, control multi-cloud operational spend, and build data foundations for generative AI. However, the discovery required for that level of transformation can entail weeks of manual spreadsheet analysis, mapping in-house infrastructure, and reconciling siloed, piecemeal cost estimates across disparate teams and sources. To help, we’re announcing AI-powered Quick Assessments in Migration Center https://console.cloud.google.com/migration , which delivers near-instant total cost of ownership TCO modeling and automated service mapping. Compare this to legacy assessment processes, which can stall digital transformation initiatives before they even launch. Manual discovery can delay migration timelines by months, increase engineering overhead, and often miscalculates complex financial models. By replacing manual discovery with AI-assisted automation, IT gains instant, actionable visibility into the TCO and return on investment ROI for a given migration initiative. Now, organizations can generate comprehensive migration financial models in minutes rather than months. Teams ingest raw infrastructure data or cloud billing reports and quickly receive an optimized target bill of materials BOM , service mapping coverage, and projected savings. Decision makers interact with an agentic assistant that explains underlying financial assumptions, recommends technical cost optimizations, and exports ready-to-share executive reports. This is made possible with AI-assisted Quick Assessments alongside enhanced Cloud Billing assessment capabilities, both integrated into the new AI-powered Migration Center https://docs.cloud.google.com/migration-center/docs . Designed for enterprise customers and partners, AI-assisted Quick Assessment automates on-premises infrastructure evaluation to provide rapid financial modeling. Let’s walk through these new capabilities: Instant Compute Engine TCO estimates convert VMware inventory exports such as RVTools or aggregated infrastructure inputs into precise Compute Engine https://cloud.google.com/compute cost targets: Modernizing your infrastructure starts with fast and accurate data. Migration Center’s Gemini-powered features simplify cloud evaluation, empowering IT decision makers to build defensible business cases generated by machine-learning.
