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.

Introducing the key features

CSR is a service from Google Cloud to manage source code. CSR provides Git version control and supports the collaborative development of any application or service. Key features include the following:

  • Fully managed private Git repository: This feature implies that there is no need to manage the infrastructure required to host the source code repository. Developers can instead focus on building, testing, deploying, and debugging code.
  • Provides one-way sync with GitHub and Bitbucket: In situations where developers use either GitHub or Bitbucket as their primary cloud source repository, enabling integration with other GCP services such as App Engine, Cloud Functions, Cloud Monitoring, and Cloud Logging is not as straight forward in comparison to using GCP's CSR. For example, it easy to deploy code to a serverless service in GCP such as Cloud Functions from CSR directly then GitHub or Bitbucket instead. In addition, the one-way sync feature...
