Key benefits

  • Gain hands-on experience in designing and managing high-performance cloud solutions
  • Leverage Google Cloud Platform to optimize technical and business processes using cutting-edge technologies and services
  • Use Google Cloud Big Data, AI, and ML services to design scalable and intelligent data solutions

Description

Google has been one of the top players in the public cloud domain thanks to its agility and performance capabilities. This book will help you design, develop, and manage robust, secure, and dynamic solutions to successfully meet your business needs. You'll learn how to plan and design network, compute, storage, and big data systems that incorporate security and compliance from the ground up. The chapters will cover simple to complex use cases for devising solutions to business problems, before focusing on how to leverage Google Cloud's Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) capabilities for designing modern no-operations platforms. Throughout this book, you'll discover how to design for scalability, resiliency, and high availability. Later, you'll find out how to use Google Cloud to design modern applications using microservices architecture, automation, and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices. The concluding chapters then demonstrate how to apply machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to derive insights from your data. Finally, you will discover best practices for operating and monitoring your cloud solutions, as well as performing troubleshooting and quality assurance. By the end of this Google Cloud book, you'll be able to design robust enterprise-grade solutions using Google Cloud Platform.

Who is this book for?

This book is for cloud architects who are responsible for designing and managing cloud solutions with GCP. You'll also find the book useful if you're a system engineer or enterprise architect looking to learn how to design solutions with Google Cloud. Moreover, cloud architects who already have experience with other cloud providers and are now beginning to work with Google Cloud will benefit from the book. Although an intermediate-level understanding of cloud computing and distributed apps is required, prior experience of working in the public and hybrid cloud domain is not mandatory.

What you will learn

  • Get to grips with compute, storage, networking, data analytics, and pricing
  • Discover delivery models such as IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS
  • Explore the underlying technologies and economics of cloud computing
  • Design for scalability, business continuity, observability, and resiliency
  • Secure Google Cloud solutions and ensure compliance
  • Understand operational best practices and learn how to architect a monitoring solution
  • Gain insights into modern application design with Google Cloud
  • Leverage big data, machine learning, and AI with Google Cloud

This is a must-have reference book for people who want to have a comprehensive understanding of all major aspects of Google Cloud, as well as for people who want to have well-guided hands-on experience in trying it out. One thing I found particularly helpful is its well-organized chapter structure, where each chapter covers a specific topic/technology area with both high-level overview and step-by-step hands-on examples. So, for instance a reader can either browse through overviews across all chapters to quickly grasp the basic concepts and enabling technologies, or dive into specific chapters of interest to have a though understanding and hands-on learning, while skipping other chapters altogether. As a professional in the telecom industry currently evaluating various cloud-based AI/ML solutions, I personally found the technical comparison between Google Cloud vs. other major clouds (AWS, Azure, etc.) in the introduction chapter very resourceful and the hands-on examples in the ML and AI chapter particularly valuable.Overall a highly recommended book. I’m glad to get a paper copy (instead of the digital one) so that it can be physically placed on my desk for easy reference.

By reading this book, you will get a flying start with Google Cloud. The book has a good and consistent structure and is easy to follow for readers with different knowledge levels. The explanation of how components can be configured is supported with clear screenshots.Using Google Cloud is not easy and this book will help you make the right choices about which of the many Google Cloud components to use. The flow diagrams help you make these choices.This book not only shows how to use the Google Cloud components, but also the power of the combination of multiple components, for example BigQuery and Cloud AI Platform in a machine learning context. The concepts are supported with interesting examples that are easy to understand for all technical readers. In some places I might have expected an overview picture more often to support the text even more.In the last part of the book, the knowledge of the Google Cloud components is combined with a vision and explanation of the ideas and concepts behind cloud-native application development. Examples of this are the extensive explanation of microservices design patterns, DevOps and DevSecOps (a good focus on security is important), use of OpenAPI and more.The concepts explained are supported in each chapter with interesting hands-on examples and challenging case studies. This ensures that after reading this you can seriously get started on bringing existing or new applications to the Google Cloud. Highly recommended if you are looking for long term cloud adoption success.

Thorough book on designing Google cloud infrastructure. While some info will transfer to other cloud systems, the author has the right idea to concentrate on one system, and explain it well. Great textbook and handy reference to keep in the bookshelf.

As someone that's been around in cloud computing for a while I find that most books are a waste of time. That's not the case here. The author did a great job of covering Google Cloud holistically making it a really strong intermediate level book on Google Cloud but also consumable for beginners as well. The chapters on networking and storage were incredibly fundamentally sound chapters that anyone in cloud computing should be reading. There was also some really strong chapters on cloud architecture as well as great introductions to more advanced topics like AI/ML that were written in plain English for anyone to absorb. I highly recommend this book!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
