Cloud Partnerships
Google Cloud platforms for teams that run on Kubernetes and data.
We design and implement Google Cloud environments across compute, storage, security, AI and cost management, and run them as your managed service provider.
- AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner
- ISO 27001 certified
In short
VA2PT designs and implements customised Google Cloud architectures and runs them as a managed service provider. We use Google Kubernetes Engine for container orchestration, Cloud Build and GitHub Actions for delivery, Cloud Armor and Security Command Center for protection, and Vertex AI for GenAI features, with FinOps practice keeping solutions secure, highly available and cost-efficient across Google Cloud and any other cloud you run.
Google Cloud at VA2PT
VA2PT runs Google Cloud for SaaS, e-commerce and data-heavy companies that chose the platform for Google Kubernetes Engine, BigQuery or Vertex AI. As an ISO 27001 certified company, we design and implement architectures that use GKE for container orchestration, Cloud Build pipelines for rapid deployment and Vertex AI for intelligent features.
Backed by experienced DevOps engineers and FinOps practices, we deliver secure, highly available and cost-efficient solutions tailored to each client's goals.
Our engineers also run AWS and Azure, so hybrid and multi-cloud estates get one way of working rather than three.

Questions buyers ask
What is Google Cloud, and how can it benefit my business?
Google Cloud is Google's cloud platform, offering computing, storage, databases, networking, security, analytics and AI services on demand. It is known for Kubernetes, which Google created, for BigQuery and data analytics, and for Vertex AI and Gemini models. A partner like VA2PT helps you choose the right services, structure your organisation and manage the environment securely.
What makes VA2PT a good choice for Google Cloud solutions?
One team covers architecture, DevOps, security, 24x7 operations, AI infrastructure and cost management. VA2PT is ISO 27001 certified, our engineers are cloud-agnostic and also run AWS, where we are an Advanced Tier Services Partner, and Azure. We build everything as code and follow up on recommendations until they are implemented.
Can VA2PT assist in migrating my infrastructure to Google Cloud?
Yes. We assess your current setup with Migration Center, whether on-premises, on AWS or Azure, or an older Google Cloud design, and plan a staged migration with a clear rollback path. We modernise where it adds value, for example moving to containers on GKE or Cloud Run, and continue to manage the environment after the move if you want us to.
How does Google Cloud enhance security and optimise business operations?
Google Cloud provides building blocks such as Cloud IAM, Cloud KMS, Cloud Armor, VPC Service Controls and Security Command Center for posture management, plus Cloud Audit Logs for accountability. Combined with automation and managed services, these reduce manual work and risk. We configure and monitor them so security improves without slowing your teams.
How does Google Cloud help in optimising IT costs?
Google Cloud offers committed use discounts, sustained use discounts, Spot VMs and per-second billing, plus billing reports, budgets and Recommender to make spend visible. Our FinOps practice uses these, plus our own leak detection, to keep your bill, including BigQuery, Vertex AI and GPU spend, in line with your business.
