I am trying to convince my boss to move some of our workloads to Google Cloud. Besides the obvious technical advantages, what are the best talking points for someone who only cares about TCO and business agility? Does the PCA certification help in articulating these business-level architectural decisions?
Google Cloud provides value to non-technical stakeholders by reducing total cost of ownership through automated billing discounts and accelerating business agility via managed services that shorten deployment cycles.

Forget the technical features and lead with GCP's committed use discounts and sustained use model to demonstrate a clear reduction in TCO. The PCA certification is irrelevant to a manager because business leaders care about risk mitigation and time-to-market metrics rather than vendor-specific credentials.
