Architecting Google Cloud Solutions

Achieve your business goals and build highly available, scalable, and secure cloud infrastructure by designing robust and cost-effective solutions as a Google Cloud Architect.Key FeaturesGain hands-on experience in designing and managing high-performance cloud solutionsLeverage Google Cloud Platform to optimize technical and business processes using cutting-edge technologies and servicesUse Google Cloud Big Data, AI, and ML services to design scalable and intelligent data solutionsBook DescriptionGoogle has been one of the top players in the public cloud domain thanks to its agility and performance capabilities. This book will help you design, develop, and manage robust, secure, and dynamic solutions to successfully meet your business needs.You'll learn how to plan and design network, compute, storage, and big data systems that incorporate security and compliance from the ground up. The chapters will cover simple to complex use cases for devising solutions to business problems, before focusing on how to leverage Google Cloud's Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) capabilities for designing modern no-operations platforms. Throughout this book, you'll discover how to design for scalability, resiliency, and high availability. Later, you'll find out how to use Google Cloud to design modern applications using microservices architecture, automation, and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices. The concluding chapters then demonstrate how to apply machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to derive insights from your data. Finally, you will discover best practices for operating and monitoring your cloud solutions, as well as performing troubleshooting and quality assurance.By the end of this Google Cloud book, you'll be able to design robust enterprise-grade solutions using Google Cloud Platform.What you will learnGet to grips with compute, storage, networking, data analytics, and pricingDiscover delivery models such as IaaS, PaaS, and SaaSExplore the underlying technologies and economics of cloud computingDesign for scalability, business continuity, observability, and resiliencySecure Google Cloud solutions and ensure complianceUnderstand operational best practices and learn how to architect a monitoring solutionGain insights into modern application design with Google CloudLeverage big data, machine learning, and AI with Google CloudWho this book is forThis book is for cloud architects who are responsible for designing and managing cloud solutions with GCP. You'll also find the book useful if you're a system engineer or enterprise architect looking to learn how to design solutions with Google Cloud. Moreover, cloud architects who already have experience with other cloud providers and are now beginning to work with Google Cloud will benefit from the book. Although an intermediate-level understanding of cloud computing and distributed apps is required, prior experience of working in the public and hybrid cloud domain is not mandatory.
