Google Cloud for DevOps Engineers

By: Sandeep Madamanchi

Overview of this book

DevOps is a set of practices that help remove barriers between developers and system administrators, and is implemented by Google through site reliability engineering (SRE). With the help of this book, you'll explore the evolution of DevOps and SRE, before delving into SRE technical practices such as SLA, SLO, SLI, and error budgets that are critical to building reliable software faster and balance new feature deployment with system reliability. You'll then explore SRE cultural practices such as incident management and being on-call, and learn the building blocks to form SRE teams. The second part of the book focuses on Google Cloud services to implement DevOps via continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). You'll learn how to add source code via Cloud Source Repositories, build code to create deployment artifacts via Cloud Build, and push it to Container Registry. Moving on, you'll understand the need for container orchestration via Kubernetes, comprehend Kubernetes essentials, apply via Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and secure the GKE cluster. Finally, you'll explore Cloud Operations to monitor, alert, debug, trace, and profile deployed applications. By the end of this SRE book, you'll be well-versed with the key concepts necessary for gaining Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer certification with the help of mock tests.

Common operations in CSR

This section details the common operations that could be performed in CSR. The options include the following:

  • Browse repositories.
  • Browse files.
  • Perform a universal code search.
  • Detect security keys.
  • Assign access controls.

Let's go through them in detail starting with the browsing repositories option.

Browsing repositories

There are two specific views to browse repositories. These views are represented across two tabs:

  • All repositories
  • My source

All repositories

CSR shows a consolidated view of all available repositories across projects that the current user has access to. The combination of repository name and project ID forms a unique tuple.

The user can also mark repositories of choice (typically the most important or most constantly used) with a star. All starred repositories will show up under the My source tab to provide quick access to specific repositories (Figure 5.13):
