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.

Summary

In this chapter, we discussed the service from Google Cloud to manage source code and provide Git version control to support collaborative development. This is the first key building block in the process of establishing a CI/CD process. In addition, we discussed various operations that can be performed in CSR along with a hands-on lab demonstrating native integration of CSR with Cloud Functions. The next chapter will focus on the services from Google Cloud required to build code, create image artifacts, and manage artifacts. These services include Cloud Build and Container Registry.

Points to remember

The following are some important points to remember:

  • CSR is a fully managed private Git repository.
  • CSR provides one-way sync with GitHub and Bitbucket.
  • CSR provides a feature for universal code search and the search can be set either for a specific project, a specific repository, a specific directory, or everything.
  • CSR can be set up to detect security...
