along the lines of a 50 percent traffic spike. This year we had our large Windows applications running on Google Cloud Platform and we found we were suddenly better prepared. Everything went well, as we didn't have to deal with obstacles such as manually managing scaling across zones and we were not stressed about whether we had enough resources to avoid downtime." Jorrit Salverda, Principal Technical Architect
Cloud Platform brings us flexibility that would otherwise be expensive to achieve. For our customers, Google offers features such as high-performance storage and flexible compute infrastructure that we simply couldn't match in a self-hosted environment. And this in turn means happy customers." Shad Lutz VP of Information Technology

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
Cloud General Fleet VMs Cost efficient for “spikey” workloads (esp. compute-optimized VMs) Extra cost if you have already licenses bought through MSFT EA Cost of Windows VM Up to 60% 40%
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 (Note: MSFT licenses bought after Oct-2019 might be governed by different rules.

Cloud to containerize and modernize your Windows server applications. Ready to use Windows Server images tuned for containers Run Linux and Windows container pods side by side to in GKE Upgrade legacy Windows server apps, develop cloud-native microservice architectures, adopt DevOps Sign up for early access “We used to set up and run Kubernetes based Windows clusters manually and have now shifted to using GKE. What used to take us weeks to set up and configure, now takes a few minutes. Features like autoscaling, high-availability, Stackdriver logging and monitoring are already baked in. Windows in GKE gives us the same scale, reliability and ease of management that we have come to expect from running Linux in GKE". Premkumar Masilamani Cloud Architect, Helix RE
