Google Cloud IoT is the IoT platform proposed by Google to manage business insights from your global device network. The key components of GCP related to the I-IoT are as follows:
- Cloud IoT Core: The device hub to receive data and manage devices
- Cloud Pub/Sub: A publisher/subscriber service to consume data
- Cloud Dataflow or Cloud Functions: These are used to process data for conversion, digital twins, and diagnosis
- Cloud Bigtable: This is used for data storage
There are also some more general-purpose services:
- Cloud Machine Learning (ML)
- Cloud BigQuery
- Cloud Storage
From an Edge perspective, Google is quite agnostic. However, they have recently declared that Android will be the platform that is used to develop IoT. The following diagram shows the basic flow diagram implemented by the GCP IoT:
