An In-depth Exploration of Google Cloud Services
Now that we have discussed the available offerings let’s take a closer look—an in-depth exploration of what Google Cloud has to offer.
Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
Access enterprise-ready containerized solutions with prebuilt templates designed for easy deployment, providing portability and simplified licensing. Explore not only container images but also open-source Google-built and commercial applications available on the Google Cloud marketplace, enhancing developer productivity.
With Google Cloud Kubernetes, automate container management with autopilot mode, eliminating the complexities of node and capacity management. Reduce cluster costs with minimal operational expertise required. GKE’s autopilot mode provides a hands-off, fully managed platform, overseeing the management of your underlying compute infrastructure while delivering a comprehensive Kubernetes experience.
Google Cloud Storage
Effortlessly manage your storage with Google Cloud Storage’s automated storage class transitions, leveraging features like Object Lifecycle Management (OLM) and Autoclass. Optimize costs by strategically placing objects across storage classes, enabling policy-based automated object movement without incurring early deletion, retrieval, or class transition charges for object access.
Google Cloud Storage offers continental-scale and SLA-backed replication, featuring dual-region buckets supporting an extensive number of regions. A single, continental-scale bucket spans nine regions across three continents, providing a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of ZERO. In case of an outage, applications can seamlessly access alternate region data without a failover and failback process. For organizations requiring ultra-availability, turbo replication with dual-region buckets offers a 15-minute Recovery Point Objective (RPO) SLA.
Simplify data transfers with the highly performant online pathway of Storage Transfer Service to Google Cloud Storage, ensuring scalability and speed. The Transfer Appliance provides a shippable storage server for offline data, initially residing in the data centre before moving to the ingest location, where data is then uploaded to Google Cloud Storage.
Google Cloud Storage prioritizes security with features such as access control policies, encryption, retention policies, retention policy locks, and signed URLs. The Python client supports Python 3.7 or later, offering virtual installation to prevent clashes with system dependencies. Users on end-of-life Python versions are advised to promptly update to actively supported versions for compatibility with the Google Cloud Storage Python client.
Google Cloud Security
Explore a comprehensive range of security services within Google Cloud Security, covering aspects like data access controls, encryption, VPN, and peering services.
Google Cloud VPN securely connects peer networks to Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks through IPsec VPN connections, encrypting traffic between networks and gateways. Choosing between Google Cloud VPN, Dedicated Interconnect, or Cloud Router requires careful consideration of network connectivity product compatibility.
Google Cloud VPN features two gateway types—HA VPN (High Availability) and Classic VPN. While certain functionalities of Classic VPN are deprecated, HA VPN provides a secure connection for on-prem networks to VPC networks in a single region, boasting an SLA of 99.99% service availability.
Google Cloud AI
Unlock the potential of the Vertex AI unified machine learning platform to efficiently build, deploy, and scale highly effective AI models. Streamline data preparation, scale datasets, and facilitate training and experimentation for Google Cloud AI models.
A Unified Development Environment
