Google Cloud Platform for Architects

By: Vitthal Srinivasan, Loonycorn , Judy Raj

Overview of this book

Using a public cloud platform was considered risky a decade ago, and unconventional even just a few years ago. Today, however, use of the public cloud is completely mainstream - the norm, rather than the exception. Several leading technology firms, including Google, have built sophisticated cloud platforms, and are locked in a fierce competition for market share. The main goal of this book is to enable you to get the best out of the GCP, and to use it with confidence and competence. You will learn why cloud architectures take the forms that they do, and this will help you become a skilled high-level cloud architect. You will also learn how individual cloud services are configured and used, so that you are never intimidated at having to build it yourself. You will also learn the right way and the right situation in which to use the important GCP services. By the end of this book, you will be able to make the most out of Google Cloud Platform design.

Object Versioning is the GCP's way of automatic archival. Once object versioning is enabled for a bucket, every version of the object (resulting from multiple writes) will be given an identification tag, which will be called generation number and all of the versions will be archived automatically.

Object versioning in the Cloud Storage bucket

This is an API and command-line exclusive (at the time of writing), so console will not provide any hints. Versioning can be set using gsutil with the following steps:

  1. Apply the gsutil versioning set on command, with the appropriate values. This will enable object versioning for all objects in the bucket. The Set off argument will turn it off...
