Google Cloud Platform Administration

By: Ranjit Singh Thakurratan

Overview of this book

On-premise data centers are costly to manage. If you need a data center but don’t want to deal with a physical one, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is the solution. With GCP, you can build, test, and deploy applications on Google’s infrastructure. Google Cloud Platform Administration begins with GCP fundamentals, with the help of which you will deploy your first app and gain an understanding of Google Cloud architecture and services. Furthermore, you will learn how to manage Compute, networking, and storage resources. As you make your way through the book, you will learn how to track and manage GCP’s usage, monitoring, and billing access control. You will also be able to manage your GCP's access and permissions. In the concluding chapters, you will explore a list of different developer tools for managing and interacting with the GCP platform. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to effectively deploy workloads on GCP.

VPC network peering

The VPC network peering allows private (RFC 1918) connectivity across two VPC networks that can span over multiple projects and even multiple organizations. In an organization with multiple network administrative domains, VPC peering allows for services to be available across VPC networks in a private IP space. These organizational services can also be exposed to other organizations via this private space. VPC network peering has more advantages than using public IP addresses or VPNs to connect organizations or networks with latency, and exposure to public internet being one of the most important ones. Also, when networks are peered, there are no egress traffic costs, which saves on overall network costs.

VPC network peering works with compute engine and app engine flexible environments. Routes, firewalls, VPNs, and other traffic tools are applied independently...
