The tool ingests VMware inventory exports (like RVTools) or cloud billing data to generate near-instant total cost of ownership (TCO) modeling, automated service mapping, and target bills of materials. New features include instant Compute Engine TCO estimates, support for Gen4 compute instances and Hyperdisk storage, customizable financial controls, a context-aware agentic chat for cost optimization recommendations, and automated business case exports to Google Sheets. The goal is to compress migration financial modeling from months down to minutes. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What new AI features did Google Cloud add to Migration Center? Google Cloud added AI-powered Quick Assessments to Migration Center, which generate near-instant total cost of ownership modeling and automated service mapping. The feature ingests VMware inventory exports like RVTools or cloud billing reports to produce a target bill of materials, Compute Engine cost estimates, and ROI projections in minutes instead of months, aided by a Gemini-powered agentic chat assistant. _daily.dev helps engineers track new cloud migration tooling like this as it rolls out._ ### How does Migration Center estimate Compute Engine costs from on-premises infrastructure? Migration Center converts VMware inventory exports, such as RVTools files, or other aggregated infrastructure inputs into precise Compute Engine cost targets. It also supports advanced architecture modeling for Gen4 compute instances and Hyperdisk storage pools, plus customizable financial controls so teams can align estimates with their own accounting standards. _Teams evaluating cloud migration costs can follow tooling updates like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [New agentic migration assessment capabilities now available with AWS Transform](https://daily.dev/posts/new-agentic-migration-assessment-capabilities-now-available-with-aws-transform-6cchyvlxh) · AWS · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Improving VMware migration workflows with agentic AI](https://daily.dev/posts/improving-vmware-migration-workflows-with-agentic-ai-hs7tr2c0e) · MIT Technology Review · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Building AI-Powered Migration Tools: Compressing 4 Sprints Into 3 Days](https://daily.dev/posts/building-ai-powered-migration-tools-compressing-4-sprints-into-3-days-vlj1z2ucz) · Salesforce Engineering · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Google Cloud Modernize: Accelerate transformation with AI](https://daily.dev/posts/google-cloud-modernize-accelerate-transformation-with-ai-kp4wyaxk2) · Google Cloud · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Your Cloud Bill Has Outgrown Its Value.
