Service Overview
Your business would like to migrate applications to cloud but worries about exchanging your IP addresses with those of the cloud provider. You are not alone. In fact, our customers have told us that managing IP addresses, migrating security policy are the most challenging parts of the migration for their network and security administrators.
By integrating your existing IP (BYOIP) with Google Cloud, your migration will be faster while at the same time reducing downtime to the minimal and reducing the cost of network infrastructure dramatically.
Your BYOIP prefixes can be broken into as many as 16 (/28) addresses and distributed to any GCP region. These BYOIP’s can be used for global load balancers, Content Delivery Network (CDN), or integrate with services on cloud platforms to maximize the flexibility of your current business resources.

Nonetheless, a trial account has limitations on resources (e.g. max 7 core or virtual CPUs). WingWill helps upgrading the GCP account to a paying account and setting up warnings for your account charges to prevent spending over your monthly budget for IT resources.
