## 2. Value Proposition for the Client
| Area | How We Create Value |
|------|---------------------|
| **Speed & Efficiency** | • Turnkey Azure migration packages – "lift‑and‑shift" + refactor in < 30 days.
• Rapid‑prototyping BI dashboards using Power BI and Synapse in 10–14 days. |
| **Cost Savings** | • Pay‑as‑you‑go compute (Azure Spot, Reserved Instances) – up to 40% lower than on‑prem hosting.
• Reduced maintenance & licensing overhead by ~30%. |
| **Scalability & Resilience** | • Auto‑scaling services, multi‑region deployment for high availability.
• Built‑in disaster recovery with minimal RPO/RTO. |
| **Security & Compliance** | • Azure security best practices (encryption at rest/in transit, role‑based access).
• ISO 27001, SOC 2 compliant infrastructure.
• Integration with existing identity providers (AAD, LDAP). |

## 4. Deployment Roadmap
### 4.1 Timeline Overview
| Phase | Duration | Key Deliverables |
|-------|----------|------------------|
| **Preparation** | 2 weeks | Project charter, stakeholder alignment, environment inventory. |
| **Design & Architecture** | 3 weeks | Detailed architecture diagrams, data flow maps, security plan. |
| **Implementation** | 6–8 weeks | Deployment of services (Kafka, Flink, S3, Glue, Athena), data pipelines, dashboards. |
| **Testing & Validation** | 2 weeks | Unit tests, integration tests, performance benchmarks, compliance checks. |
| **Go‑Live & Support** | Ongoing | Production deployment, monitoring setup, knowledge transfer, incident response plan. |
---
### 8. Risks and Mitigations
| Risk | Impact | Likelihood | Mitigation |
|------|--------|------------|------------|
| **Data loss during migration** | High | Medium | Incremental backup; verify data integrity after each batch. |
| **Performance bottlenecks in streaming pipeline** | Medium | High | Capacity planning, auto‑scaling of Kafka Connect and stream processors. |
| **Security breach (unauthorized access)** | High | Low | Strict IAM policies, encryption at rest/in transit, regular audits. |
| **Compliance violations due to data residency** | High | Low | Use regional buckets; enforce data locality rules in ingestion pipelines. |
| **Vendor lock‑in with proprietary services** | Medium | Medium | Adopt open‑source alternatives (Kafka, Flink) where feasible. |

## 6 week anavar results (https://www.valley.md/anavar-results-after-2-weeks). Next Steps
1. **Finalize Architecture Diagram** – Incorporate all components and data flows.
2. **Define Data Retention & Tiering Policies** – Align with compliance and cost objectives.
3. **Pilot Migration** – Select a subset of services (e.g., `web` + `api`) for initial lift‑and‑shift to Google Cloud, evaluate performance, latency, and cost.
4. **Establish Monitoring & Alerting Framework** – Use Stackdriver / Grafana dashboards.
5. **Iterate on Security Controls** – Harden IAM policies, enable VPC Service Controls.

## 2. Design a Data Retention and Tiering Policy for the Project
| **Data Category** | **Retention Period** | **Storage Tier** | **Justification** |
|-------------------|----------------------|------------------|--------------------|
| **Source Code & Config Files (Dockerfiles, .env)** | 7 years (per compliance) | Nearline / Coldline (if archival) | Source code is critical intellectual property; must be retained for long periods to satisfy regulatory requirements and support future releases. |
| **Build Artifacts (Docker images, binaries)** | 3 years | Nearline | Builds are needed for reproducibility and potential rollback; after 3 years they can be considered legacy but still valuable for audit purposes. |
| **Container Runtime Logs** | 90 days | Standard Storage (hot) | Operational logs are required for troubleshooting and incident response within a short retention window; longer retention would not add value. |
| **Application Configuration Files** | 2 years | Nearline | Configurations may change frequently; older versions might still be needed for rollback or compliance audits, but after 2 years they can be archived. |
| **Database Snapshots (full dumps)** | 1 year | Nearline | For regulatory compliance and data recovery; snapshots older than a year are less likely to be needed. |
> **Why do we need these different retention periods?**
> • Short-term hot storage ensures fast access for operational tasks.
> • Longer-term nearline or archival storage reduces cost while retaining essential records.
> • Retention policies must also comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

## 2. What is an Object Lifecycle Policy?
An **Object Lifecycle Policy** (also known as a *Lifecycle Rule*) in Google Cloud Storage automates the transition of objects between storage classes or their deletion after a specified period. It’s defined by:
| Element | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `ID` | Human-readable name for the rule. |
| `Prefix` / `Tag` | Scope: which objects it applies to (e.g., all files in `logs/`). |
| `Transitions` | When and where to move objects (from Standard → Nearline after 30 days). |
| `Expiration` | When to delete objects (after 365 days). |
Example rule:
```yaml
- id: "ArchiveLogs"
prefix: "logs/"
transitions:
- date: "+30d" # 30 days after creation
storageClass: Nearline
expiration:
date: "+365d" # delete after one year
```
By applying such rules to all buckets, you automate data lifecycle management across your entire environment.
