Migrating to the Future: How Nimbus Shift Delivered a Secure and Scalable GCP Landing Zone
for Enterprise Transformation
Our client — a major player in the logistics sector — faced mounting
challenges:
Fragmented infrastructure across multiple data centers.
Limited visibility into IT operations and spend.
Growing compliance requirements (ISO 27001, GDPR).
Ambition to adopt AI/ML and data analytics at scale.
They needed a modern cloud foundation that could support innovation without compromising
control. That’s where Nimbus Shift came in.
A Landing Zone is a set of configurations, policies, and infrastructure
blueprints that provide a secure starting point for cloud adoption. It ensures:
“ At Nimbus Shift, we use a modular, automated Landing Zone framework
— built on Terraform and aligned with Google’s best practices — to ensure fast, repeatable
deployments. “

Discovery & Assessment:
We began by conducting a full inventory of the client’s workloads, application dependencies,
and overall security posture. This comprehensive assessment enabled us to understand the
existing IT landscape and identify risks and opportunities. We then performed a detailed risk
and cost analysis using Google’s Cloud Adoption Framework to guide the migration strategy.
Landing Zone Deployment:
Next, we deployed a scalable GCP Landing Zone. This included setting up an organization-level
resource hierarchy with structured folders for production, development, and shared services.
We configured identity federation with Azure Active Directory via Cloud Identity, deployed a
shared VPC, and defined firewall policies with subnet segmentation to ensure secure
networking. Audit logs, VPC flow logs, and organization policies were activated to meet
compliance and monitoring requirements. Finally, we implemented cost allocation mechanisms
using budgets and departmental labels for effective financial governance.
The success of this project reaffirmed our belief: cloud adoption is
not just a tech shift — it’s a business transformation. By delivering a secure, scalable GCP
Landing Zone, Nimbus Shift empowered our client to innovate faster, operate smarter, and prepare
for a data-driven future.
