A major component of network architecture is controlling which communications are allowed and which are not. Firewall rules are a fundamental component of GCP networking, and provide a base layer to access control. However, there are many cases where firewall rules are insufficient, such as authorization and authentication-based access. Additionally, some infrastructure components such as target proxies reduce the ability of firewall rules to restrict access by client IP. Fortunately, Google offers a number of additional services for monitoring and controlling network access, including Cloud Endpoints, Identity Aware Proxy, and Cloud Armor. Each of these services provides some form of access control, with varying feature sets and granularity.

Overview of this book
GCP is a cloud computing platform with a wide range of products and services that enable you to build and deploy cloud-hosted applications. This Learning Path will guide you in using GCP and designing, deploying, and managing applications on Google Cloud.
You will get started by learning how to use App Engine to access Google's scalable hosting and build software that runs on this framework. With the help of Google Compute Engine, you’ll be able to host your workload on virtual machine instances. The later chapters will help you to explore ways to implement authentication and security, Cloud APIs, and command-line and deployment management. As you hone your skills, you’ll understand how to integrate your new applications with various data solutions on GCP, including Cloud SQL, Bigtable, and Cloud Storage. Following this, the book will teach you how to streamline your workflow with tools, including Source Repositories, Container Builder, and Stackdriver. You'll also understand how to deploy and debug services with IntelliJ, implement continuous delivery pipelines, and configure robust monitoring and alerts for your production systems. By the end of this Learning Path, you'll be well versed with GCP’s development tools and be able to develop, deploy, and manage highly scalable and reliable applications.
