By: Victor Dantas

Overview of this book

Google 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.

Chapter 9: Jumping on the DevOps Bandwagon with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)

Modern enterprises have learned that siloed ways of working and conflicting priorities between development and operations teams hinder their ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity and quality. DevOps emerged to solve this problem with a set of principles and working philosophies to foster collaboration and goal alignment.

In this chapter, you will learn about the five key pillars of DevOps, its cultural principles, and the motivations for incorporating it into a cloud adoption and digital transformation project. You will also learn about the practical ways in which DevOps can be implemented with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices. You will learn about the SRE practices you can drive as a cloud architect and get hands-on experience with infrastructure automation and continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) on GCP. Finally, you will learn some best practices...
