Summary


In this chapter, we studied two different use cases. The first use case was related to an IoT use case and the second was for a telecom client. All three use cases have helped you in getting the complete understanding about numerous service GCP has to offer. Also you understood how they are used and at what juncture. You also learnt about all options that are available to use to perform the same tasks.

Understanding these use cases would have been a great learning to all of you.

Next up is an appendix, where I am going to explain the different services that we have in Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. Once you are a bit familiar with them, we will have a side-by-side comparison of all the services offered by the three major vendors in cloud platforms.
