Overview of this book

Cloud computing has proven to be the most revolutionary IT development since virtualization. Cloud native architectures give you the benefit of more flexibility over legacy systems. This Learning Path teaches you everything you need to know for designing industry-grade cloud applications and efficiently migrating your business to the cloud. It begins by exploring the basic patterns that turn your database inside out to achieve massive scalability. You’ll learn how to develop cloud native architectures using microservices and serverless computing as your design principles. Then, you’ll explore ways to continuously deliver production code by implementing continuous observability in production. In the concluding chapters, you’ll learn about various public cloud architectures ranging from AWS and Azure to the Google Cloud Platform, and understand the future trends and expectations of cloud providers. By the end of this Learning Path, you’ll have learned the techniques to adopt cloud native architectures that meet your business requirements.

GCP's cloud-native services (CNMM Axis-1)


As discussed in earlier chapters, let's first understand what type of cloud-native services Google Cloud offers that can help the end users and benefit businesses from the true power of various services and platforms.

Introduction

Google was a little bit of a late entrant to the public cloud space, but in the last few years it has really picked up pace in terms of its services coverage as well as customer adoption. As per various analyst reports, it ranks third as a cloud provider (after AWS and MS Azure) based on overall vision and its ability to execute, making it a promising candidate for any kind of cloud-native application's development and deployment. So, let's look at some of the services that it offers in that space and how it can potentially help you adopt them effectively.

Google Cloud Platform – differentiators

Google has many interesting services in the space of machine learning (ML) / artificial intelligence (AI), application containerization...
