I didn't have to do anything. When I started using or registered on my Gmail, it automatically came with it. 

I never had to do anything with the setup of Google Drive. Because I'm not using it in a corporate environment, it's very simple. 

In a corporate environment, it might be much harder to set up the structure, the folders, the access rights, and so on and so on. In my case, with my private usage, it's really very simple because I didn't have to do anything really.

The product's initial setup phase is very easy.

One person from the IT team who operates from the headquarters of our company situated in Istanbul deals with the deployment process of the product and speaks with the company's employees, making the whole process easy without any complaints.

Only IT staff members are required to take care of the product's deployment process.

The solution can be deployed in a month.

For deployment, we've been using Firebase, specifically Firebase Cloud Storage. Since it's a managed service, we didn't have to handle the deployment process ourselves. This aligns well with our design methodology of building the product, testing it, gathering user feedback, and making changes based on that feedback. You need a team of ten resources to handle the deployment.

The initial setup could be simple. We can set up the solution and then open up the console and configure it how we want. We have one person that can deploy the solution. It doesn't take a large team. If you have DNS skills, it's an easy task.

If we use a managed service, then Google takes care of the maintenance part. However, if we use an infra one, we manage the maintenance part. I can't say how many people are involved in the maintenance phase because we have multiple applications, and people are involved from the application side and the IT side. So, it depends, and it is situational in nature, like if we are using infrastructure service, then it's all managed by us. Only the VM is managed by the cloud. However, if the application is installed, then the application is managed by the application team. And if any storage or network is associated, then that is all managed by us.




The deployment model for the solution consists of AWS, Amazon, and Google. To some extent, I think we also use Azure for O365 or M365, like Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Outlook.

There were no complexities involved in the installation of the solution. In our company, we only had to use the online services provided by Google to install the solution. Though most of the installation can be done online, we are dependent on certain deployment tools like Terraform and Ansible for easy deployment and integration.

Google Cloud Storage setup is only a couple of clicks and there's no installation per se. As long as the data feed pipeline is there, that part of the solution keeps running on its own and it will produce results based on what it learned.

Being a cloud solution, it doesn't require installation. I can also use it offline. To use it offline, I need to install an app on my machine that allows me to work offline and gets synced without my server.

It is completely cloud-managed. We don't need a separate team to maintain it. We only have our regular IT team that creates the users, and they automatically get signed up to Google Storage.

VB
Enterprise Solution Architect at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees

The initial setup in the Google environment is always a nightmare because you have to implement the solution for the customer. You have to take care of the customer's needs, including the movement of workloads from the data center to the cloud environment. Part of the reason it is complex is that you have to understand the applications the customer uses and assess the suitability for a cloud environment.

Most of the errors are made during the setup and implementation, or by having to change the implementation because you have incorrectly estimated the consumption of CPU or storage resources.

The deployment takes three to four months, after which you begin to see immediately if the solution is okay or if you have some problems.

The deployment method was with a hybrid cloud. It is not public, as our customers do not want their data on the public cloud. We use the hybrid cloud because they have their own data center, and they move the workloads and they move the data in the cloud environment. It is a hybrid cloud configuration.
