Quick Launch
AWS Free Tier
A free, read-only assessment of your Google Cloud estate for migration to AWS. Connect keyless, read-only access and Firemind maps every workload to its AWS target, recommends a migration path for each, and returns a draft wave plan and the inputs for your AWS business case.
Overview
Overview: The Google Cloud to AWS Migration Assessment, built on Firemind's IT Operations Engine, reads the configuration of your Google Cloud organisation and tells you, workload by workload, how it should move to AWS, what stands in the way, and what it would take to run it once it lands. You receive a migration plan for every workload, free and with no commitment.
What the assessment covers
- Compute Engine instances, managed instance groups and machine images
- Google Kubernetes Engine clusters and Cloud Run services
- Cloud Run functions, Cloud Functions and App Engine
- Cloud SQL, Spanner, Bigtable, Firestore and Memorystore
- Cloud Storage buckets, BigQuery datasets and Pub/Sub topics, assessed from metadata
- VPC networks, firewall rules, load balancers and Cloud DNS
- IAM, service accounts and organisation policies
- Vertex AI endpoints and models
Typical targets include Amazon EC2 for Compute Engine, Amazon EKS for GKE, AWS Lambda for Cloud Run functions, Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora for Cloud SQL, Amazon S3 for Cloud Storage, and Amazon Bedrock or Amazon SageMaker AI for Vertex AI.
What you receive
- An inventory of every workload in scope, grouped into applications by dependencies and tags
- A recommended migration path for each workload, from rehost, relocate and replatform to repurchase, refactor, retain or retire, with the AWS target and the reason
- Dependencies and blockers, with the evidence behind each finding
- Identity findings, such as long-lived service account keys, with the keyless AWS pattern that replaces each
- A draft wave plan, ordered so lower-risk workloads move first
- Right-sized AWS estimates, ready to load into the AWS Pricing Calculator, including the post-migration annual run rate that MAP eligibility is based on
- A run-readiness view: what it would take to operate each workload once it lands on AWS
- A readout with a Firemind cloud architect, and a summary you can take into a Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) Assess conversation with your AWS account team
Access: read-only, and your data stays out of scope
Access is keyless and read-only. You create a Workload Identity Federation provider in Google Cloud that trusts Firemind's AWS role, bound to a service account that holds predefined viewer roles for asset inventory, security review and monitoring only. No service account key is issued. Object contents, database rows, secret values and log contents stay out of scope.
Optionally, deploy the IT Operations Engine read-only AWS role with Quick Launch so the assessment also checks the AWS landing zone your workloads would move into. It reads configuration and metadata only and makes no changes. If you already run the IT Operations Engine Free Assessment, this step is already done.
How it works
- Subscribe here. It is free, no card, no commitment.
- Create the read-only connection in Google Cloud. Firemind provides the gcloud commands and a Terraform module, which you review and run. They create a Workload Identity Federation provider and a viewer-only service account, with no keys.
- Optionally, deploy the read-only AWS role using Quick Launch. It registers with Firemind automatically.
- Firemind returns your assessment and a readout with a Firemind cloud architect.
- Delete the Workload Identity Federation provider or the service account whenever you choose. Access ends with it.
Scope: Every project in your Google Cloud organisation, with no resource cap. Bring as much of your estate as you can: the more the assessment sees, the more complete your plan and business case.
Next step: Google Cloud to AWS Migration by Firemind on AWS Marketplace takes the plan through a full MAP Assess, landing zone, migration and operations, delivered as a private offer.

Highlights
- Every Google Cloud workload mapped to AWS: a recommended migration path for each, from rehost to refactor or retire, with its AWS target, dependencies, blockers and a draft wave plan.
- Keyless and read-only: access uses Workload Identity Federation with viewer roles only, so no service account key is issued and object contents, database rows and secrets stay out of scope.
- Built for the business case: right-sized AWS estimates ready for the AWS Pricing Calculator, and a summary you can take into a Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) Assess conversation.

Pricing
This product is available free of charge. Free subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimensions summary
This listing has one pricing dimension, offered at no cost. The assessment reads your source cloud estate and produces findings without changing anything. Because it is free, there are no tiers, usage meters, or quantity settings to configure. You pay nothing regardless of how many accounts or resources are reviewed. The engagement centers on a read-only discovery that maps your environment and surfaces migration findings. This single free dimension covers the full scope of the assessment, so the cost is predictable and fixed at zero.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You receive a baseline discovery report. It covers estate topology, incident and alert volume by category, current resolution benchmarks, security findings and drift, and cost optimisation opportunities. The assessment runs read-only with no operational risk, and typically takes one to two weeks from connection.
The assessment requires read-only access only, so nothing in your environment changes. An agent deploys inside your cloud account using a permission role scoped to actions you define. It never requires credentials beyond the boundary you set. Every permission is documented and auditable.
No. This listing has a single free dimension, so cost stays at zero regardless of scope. Past read-only assessments have covered roughly 30 accounts across every region and service without charge. There are no usage meters or quantity settings that move the price.

Additional details
Usage instructions
Use Quick Launch above if you can. These steps are for buyers whose policy is to review and deploy CloudFormation themselves.
What gets created, and nothing else
- One IAM role, FaePlatformRole, which Firemind assumes to run the assessment
- Three IAM managed policies, all of them Deny, layered over the role's baseline
- One execution role and one Lambda function, used once to report the created role ARN back to Firemind, then never invoked again
- One custom resource that invokes that function
What the role can and cannot do
The baseline is the AWS managed SecurityAudit and ViewOnlyAccess policies. Three Deny policies sit over the top, covering object and storage data, database and stream contents, and secrets, key material and privilege escalation. An explicit Deny always wins in IAM evaluation, so this holds regardless of what the baseline would otherwise permit.
The role can list a bucket and count its objects, but cannot read one. It can describe a database, its engine and its encryption configuration, but cannot read a row. It cannot decrypt anything, read a secret or parameter value, download log contents, or open a session to a host. Remediation is disabled and the role holds no write permissions.
Steps
- Download the template from the URL shown in the Quick Launch panel and review it. Everything above is visible in the file.
- Create the stack in any region you like. The role is global, so the region only determines where the stack object lives. Assessment covers every region regardless.
- Acknowledge CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM. The role name is fixed so that Firemind can derive the ARN without asking you for it.
- Set FaeTrustedAccountId to the Firemind account shown on the Quick Launch page, and FaeCallbackUrl to the registration endpoint shown there. Leave the remaining parameters at their defaults.
- On completion the stack reports the role back to Firemind automatically. If that call fails the stack rolls back, by design, so a silent half-configured state is not possible.
Trust
The trust policy is conditioned on an external ID equal to your own AWS account ID. Both sides derive it, so there is no secret to exchange and nothing to rotate.
Ending access
Delete the stack. That removes the role and every policy with it, and Firemind's access ends at that moment. No notice is required.
