3. We’re committed to making GCP a first class platform for running Microsoft workloads Urs Hölzle Senior Vice President, Technical Infrastructure
4. Windows on GCP 2017 2018 2019 Windows Server Images 2016 SQL Server images VSS integrated PD snapshots Support for WinRM Reference TSC enlightenment 2016 2015 Windows Server [2008R2, 2012R2] images SQL Server HA AlwaysOn Availability Groups Cloud Client Libraries in NuGet (Beta) Cloud Tools for VS and PowerShell Stackdriver support for ASP.NET Logging & Error Reporting Google joins .NET foundation Private IP for Windows VM SQL Server HA AlwaysOn FCI Migration Tooling for Windows Shielded VMs Managed AD (preview) BYOL sole tenancy New WS and SQL images And more to come . . .
5. Thank you to many, many thousands of customers running Windows on GCP
6. Why Windows on GCP?
7. Open: No vendor lock-in, roadmap to an open future Google-grade everything: Innovation, efficiency, security, infrastructure, reliability Lift and Shift: Windows critical component of Enterprise workloads Data Gravity / Integration with Google applications: BigQuery, Cloud ML, App Engine
8. Journey to Modernization Assess, Plan and Migrate Operate Modernize 1 2 3
9. Some key questions 1 How do i start? 2 Do I have to “rebuy” MSFT licenses? 3 What technology do I use for VM migration? How do I test?
10. Migration center One stop for getting started on migrating to GCP cloud.google.com/migrate
11. 1 Discover your application landscape 2 Assess your workload portfolio 3 Estimate cost Discovery, assessment, and planning tools 4 Plan your migration

14. (Highly simplified; each individual situation is different. Please validate with your MSFT licensing expert) Microsoft EA licensing basics (Windows) License requirement Description Remain fully dedicated Servers and such devices remain fully dedicated to customer’s use 90-day server affinity Cannot reassign a license [to new physical hardware] within 90 days of last reassignment except in case of permanent hardware failure or loss
15. Buy special MSFT SPLA License for running Windows on Public Cloud General Fleet VMs Cost efficient for “spikey” workloads (esp. compute-optimized VMs) Extra cost if you have already licenses bought through MSFT EA 40% Cost of Windows VM MSFT licensing cost Up to 60% GCE instance cost 40%
16. Bring your existing Microsoft Windows Server, Windows Desktop, and SQL Server** Licenses to GCP Complies with Microsoft BYOL requirements of dedicated hardware per customer and 90 day server affinity Must place Windows VMs on ST nodes Detailed reporting on hardware usage for audits etc** Sole tenant nodes for BYOL *Without need for MSFT Software Assurance ** Customer is still responsible for license compliance and reporting Single-tenant VM 1 VM 2 Host Hardware Host Kernel VM 1 VM 2 Host Hardware Host Kernel Announcing Beta

21. Some key questions 1 How do i deploy new VMs/apps? 2 Is it secure? How is the performance? 3 How do i manage my applications?
22. Easily access license-included Windows Server and SQL images tested, patched, and performance-tuned by Google engineers Quickly launch VM instances with pre-installed images Readily available “Pay-as-you-go” images for SQL Server 2012+ on Windows Server Need a license? Pay by the second for the use of the Windows Server license.

24. Shielded VMs are virtual machines (VMs) on Google Cloud Platform hardened by a set of security controls that help defend against rootkits and bootkits. Shielded VMs for special security needs Quickly protect VMs against advanced threats like remote attacks, privilege escalation, and malicious insiders Ensure workloads are trusted and verifiable with secure and measured boot, vTPM, UEFI firmware, and integrity monitoring Verify the integrity of your VMs with tamper-evident attestation claims Management Security Disks Networking Shielded VM Turn on all settings for the most secure configuration Turn on Secure Boot Turn on vTPM Turn on Integrity Monitoring ? ? ? ?
25. Live migration keeps your virtual machine instances running even when a host system event occurs, such as a software or hardware update. Reliability with live migration Compute Engine live migrates your running instances to another host in the same zone rather than requiring your VMs to be rebooted. Perform maintenance that is integral to keeping infrastructure protected and reliable without interrupting any of your VMs. Live migration Huge differentiator
26. Compliance Reporting Detailed reporting /compliance across Windows and Linux distros and across hybrid clouds Patch reliability insights/recommendations with ML/AI Patch Action Across Clouds & OSes Patch approvals with flexible scheduling Orchestrated patch actions Application aware patching Integrate with existing systems (Satellite, Microsoft tools Puppet/chef, ITSM, open source tools) GCP Patch and Configuration Management Coming soon
