Architecting Google Cloud Solutions

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.

Summary

In this chapter, you've learned about the problems DevOps emerged to solve and its five backbone principles. You've then learned about SRE, which is a practical implementation of DevOps. You've learned how you can incorporate SRE, from broad cultural changes to specific technical practices. In particular, you've learned about the motivations for automation and the importance of measuring and automating toil. You got hands-on experience in using GCP to automate infrastructure deployments and implement a serverless CI/CD pipeline.

Finally, you've learned a few practical ways to apply SRE to your organization and form SRE teams. You should be able to apply many of the concepts learned in this chapter to design modern enterprise solutions with the perfect balance between reliability and innovation agility to support organizations in their DevOps journey.

In the next chapter, you will learn how to design a scalable microservices architecture on GCP...
