Story
Inside J.B. Hunt, datacenter exit planning used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in industrials groups working out of the United States. Migration squads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
J.B. Hunt uses Google Kubernetes Engine from Google Cloud as the working layer for workload migration. Google Cloud provides infrastructure, analytics, and AI services, including BigQuery and Vertex AI, for data-heavy and machine learning workloads. The practical change is simple: datacenter exit planning has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What J.B. Hunt gets from Google Cloud is a durable place to run datacenter exit planning and a way for migration squads to see the same workload migration at the same time.
