Migrate GCP project from no organization to organization

  1. I have an application deployed on Google App Engine in a standalone project not linked to any GCP organization. The client has requested to migrate this project under a GCP organization. Could you advise on the potential impacts this migration might have on the currently running application? What precautions and steps should we take to ensure a seamless and safe migration process?
  2. As per the requirement, we need to perform a vulnerability scan for all the running services in our GCP project. After researching, I found that Google Cloud Security Command Center (SCC) is the recommended service for this purpose. However, SCC requires the project to be part of an organization. Since our project is a legacy one and not currently associated with any organization, we need to migrate it from a standalone project to an organization to enable the use of SCC.

Hello @djain  ,Welcome on Google Cloud Community.

Please read similar case regarding migration project without org to Orgnization one. https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/Cloud-Hub/Migration-for-the-GCP-project-for-GTM-and-from-non... 

Regarding question 2, yes to enable SCC you have to configure Organization ( or  from different way, project where you want to enable SCC, must be under Organization).

Hi @DamianS ,

Thank you for the information. Before proceeding with the migration, could you advise on what planning or steps I need to take to ensure a smooth transition? Specifically, are there any best practices or considerations to keep in mind regarding IAM roles, permissions, billing, and service continuity?

Additionally, is there any handy documentation or guide available that outlines the migration process from a standalone project to an organization? That would be very helpful.

Looking forward to your suggestions!

Best regards,
Deepanshu Jain (djain)

Hi @djain ,

Following documentation contains checklist for moving project from one org to another one, however with small changes, it could be used for your case:

This documentation contain info about handling special cases (like yours): https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/handle-special-cases#migrating_projects_no_org
