Congrats! You've just decided you are moving to the cloud! Business! Agile! Savings! Automation! Magic?!?!?!?!
How are you guys handling traffic management for the transition?
A 10Gb circuit (best path) to Equinix ceases to become a lot of bandwidth (relatively) when you have TBs upon TBs of data to move, project deadlines to meet, and server/app resources who's only concern with the situation begins and ends at their app.
Service policies/traditional shaping-policing seems to fall apart for this since (at least) in GCloud, things that can be summarized easily (projects/VPC) aren't always the same things eating bandwidth for breakfast/lunch/dinner.
I can think of creative solutions utilizing our circuits to the East region, other colo facilites, blah blah blah. I'm failing to find a scaleable solution beyond a service-policy tied to an interface that I'm sure would become untenable within a week and likewise require explaining to management, to move forward with.
Cisco? Yes. You got a solution that involves not Cisco? I got cash.
