Level Up

Services

Google Cloud consulting and implementation

A catalog of engagements Level Up can scope on Google Cloud. Each one is a consulting and implementation offering for commercial enterprises and public sector organizations, including state, local, and education (SLED).

Level Up participates in the Google Cloud Partner Network.

Cloud Infrastructure & Modernization

Assessments, foundations, Kubernetes platforms, and the automation required to run them.

Google Cloud Migration Assessment

Business problem
The organization needs to leave aging infrastructure, and the estate, dependencies, and landing-zone decisions are still unclear.
What Level Up delivers
A scoped assessment of the current estate, target Google Cloud architecture options, a migration approach, and the engineering work required to start.
Typical deliverables
Current-state summary, target architecture options, migration approach, dependency and risk notes, and a recommended first implementation scope.
Appropriate when
Enterprises and SLED organizations planning a move from on-premises, VMware, or another cloud. Also useful when a Google seller needs an implementation partner after a customer agrees to explore Google Cloud.

Landing Zone & Infrastructure Foundation

Business problem
Projects stall because identity, networking, security baselines, and project structure are not in place.
What Level Up delivers
A production-oriented Google Cloud foundation: organization structure, IAM, networking, logging, and security baselines, implemented as code.
Typical deliverables
Foundation architecture, Terraform for the baseline, IAM and network design, logging and security controls, and handover notes for the team that will operate it.
Appropriate when
Organizations starting on Google Cloud, or expanding from a single project into a governed estate, including public sector environments with stricter control requirements.
Discuss scoping →

GKE & Platform Engineering

Business problem
Application teams need Kubernetes, and the organization needs a platform it can operate.
What Level Up delivers
GKE platform design and implementation covering cluster architecture, delivery pipelines, environment promotion, and day-2 operations.
Typical deliverables
Platform architecture, cluster and environment design, CI/CD integration, an observability baseline, and operational notes for the platform team.
Appropriate when
Teams standardizing on GKE, replacing ad hoc clusters, or building an internal platform for Linux and container workloads.
Discuss scoping →

Infrastructure Automation & DevOps

Business problem
Cloud changes are still ticket-driven, and infrastructure is hard to review, repeat, or recover.
What Level Up delivers
Terraform for infrastructure, Ansible for configuration and operational automation, and CI/CD that fits how the team already ships.
Typical deliverables
Repository structure, modules or roles for the in-scope systems, pipeline design, and documentation the customer's engineers can extend.
Appropriate when
Organizations that already use Terraform, Ansible, or both and want that practice applied on Google Cloud, including hybrid estates.
Discuss scoping →

AI & Application Engineering

Discovery, proofs of concept, and production engineering for generative AI applications and agents.

Enterprise AI Discovery & Architecture

Business problem
The organization wants to use Gemini or other models, and the useful workflows, data boundaries, and integration points are not defined.
What Level Up delivers
A discovery engagement that identifies a small number of viable AI use cases and a technical architecture for the first one.
Typical deliverables
Use-case shortlist, architecture for the selected workflow, integration and data notes, security and oversight considerations, and a recommended proof-of-concept scope.
Appropriate when
Enterprises and SLED agencies evaluating Gemini, Vertex AI, or agentic workflows before they commit engineering capacity.
Discuss scoping →

Agentic Application Proof of Concept

Business problem
A workflow looks promising, and the team needs to see it work against real systems before funding a production build.
What Level Up delivers
A focused proof of concept for an agentic or generative AI workflow, integrated far enough to judge whether production is warranted.
Typical deliverables
A working proof of concept, architecture notes, an evaluation approach, and a recommendation on what production would require.
Appropriate when
Teams with a defined workflow in customer operations, internal knowledge, or developer productivity who need evidence from a running system.
Discuss scoping →

AI Application Productionization

Business problem
A prototype works in a demo and is not yet safe, observable, or supportable in production.
What Level Up delivers
The engineering to take a selected AI application or agent into production: integration, evaluation, observability, access control, and human oversight.
Typical deliverables
Production architecture, implementation of the agreed scope, an evaluation and monitoring approach, security controls, and operational handover.
Appropriate when
Organizations that have validated a use case and need it to run with the same discipline as the rest of their platform.
Discuss scoping →

Application Modernization & Integration

Business problem
Existing applications and enterprise APIs need to run on, or connect to, Google Cloud without a rewrite of the entire estate.
What Level Up delivers
A modernization and integration approach, then implementation of the agreed slice: containerization, GKE deployment, API integration, or targeted refactoring.
Typical deliverables
Modernization approach, integration design, the implemented scope, and notes on what remains on the existing estate.
Appropriate when
Mixed environments where some systems stay in place and others move, including public sector systems with long-lived integrations.
Discuss scoping →

Data & Operations

Data platform planning, plus the reliability and cost work required once systems are live.

Data Platform Modernization Assessment

Business problem
Analytics and AI plans depend on data that is still fragmented across warehouses, databases, and files.
What Level Up delivers
An assessment of the current data estate and a BigQuery-oriented architecture for migration or modernization, including pipelines and operations.
Typical deliverables
Current-state data summary, target architecture, migration or modernization approach, pipeline considerations, and a recommended implementation scope.
Appropriate when
Organizations evaluating Google Cloud as the place to consolidate analytics, or preparing data so later AI work has a reliable foundation. Includes SLED agencies with reporting and records workloads.
Discuss scoping →

Cloud Operations & Reliability Engineering

Business problem
The platform is live, and the team does not yet have the automation, observability, or operating cadence to run it confidently.
What Level Up delivers
Operational design and implementation for the in-scope Google Cloud environment: monitoring, alerting, automation of routine work, and reliability practices.
Typical deliverables
An observability baseline, operational automation, handover practices suited to the team, and a short list of remaining risks.
Appropriate when
Teams that have completed a migration or platform build and need their own engineers to operate it.
Discuss scoping →

Cloud Cost & Operational Optimization

Business problem
Spend and operational load grew with the estate, and it is not clear which changes are worth making.
What Level Up delivers
A review of cost and operational hotspots, then implementation of the agreed optimizations in infrastructure, configuration, or usage.
Typical deliverables
Findings, prioritized recommendations, implemented changes in the agreed scope, and notes the team can reuse.
Appropriate when
Organizations already running on Google Cloud that want engineering help with budget accountability, including commercial and public sector buyers.
