Migrating GCP projects

[jc123]

When migrating a project with no organization to a new organization, can we maintain the same billing account, or do we have to set up a new one?

Once the project is migrated, is there anything left to "close out" at the source? Since there is no organization in the source, there shouldn't be any folders.

Hi,

Yes, that should be fine, the billing account relationship to projects is separate to the permissions and ownership of the billing account itself.  A billing account can be moved between organizations if required, some details here (see the second example): 
https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/project-migration#change_billing_account

More details on billing and how it relates to organizations and projects can be found here: https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/concepts

And regarding 'close out' if you only had a single no org project and you moved it and its billing account into an org construct, that should be all that is needed.

Hope that helps,

Alex

Very useful info @alexmoore . I have a similar usecase but these are  20+ standalone projects that need to be setup under a new Org. Some of these projects have their own billing accounts. Any checklist / things to keep in mind before i execute the migration?
