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.

Points to remember

The following are some important points to remember:

  • Cloud Build can import source code from Google Cloud Storage, CSR, GitHub, or Bitbucket.
  • Cloud builders are container images that run the build process.
  • Google-managed builders are pre-built images that can be used to execute one or more build steps.
  • Community-contributed builders are open source builders but not pre-built images and only source code is made available.
  • The build configuration is a configuration file that encapsulates the steps to perform build-related tasks, written in yaml or json format.
  • Manual invocation and automatic builds using triggers are the two main options to invoke the build process via Cloud Build.
  • Cloud Build related logs are stored in Cloud Storage and Cloud Logging.
  • Cloud Build Editor provides full control of Cloud Build resources.
  • Cloud Build creates a specific Cloud Build SA (with minimal permissions assigned) for a project when the Cloud...
