Google Cloud for DevOps Engineers

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.

Hands-on lab – integrating with Cloud Functions

The objective of this hands-on lab is to demonstrate the integration between a GCP compute service such as Cloud Functions with CSR. The intent is to illustrate how code can be deployed in Cloud Functions by pulling the code hosted from CSR. The following is a summary of the steps at a high level:

  1. Add code to an existing repository through the Cloud Shell Editor.
  2. Push code from the Cloud Shell Editor (local repository) into CSR.
  3. Create a cloud function and deploy code from the repository in CSR.

Adding code to an existing repository through the Cloud Shell Editor

This sub-section specifically focuses on adding code to an existing repository. Developers typically use their favorite editors to make code changes. The following shows the usage of GCP's Cloud Shell Editor, an online development environment that supports cloud-native development through the Cloud Code plugin along with language support...
