I found this book useful as a study guide and still find myself looking through pages when I need to figure something out.I sometimes see the Everest of possibilities with GKE and GCP and feel overwhelmed but the authors break down some very complicated scenarios really well in a structured way. This is a technical guide so worth bearing that in mind, not a "dummies guide"

Got this book as I was looking to get introduction to Google Cloud Platform. Even though it is targeted at passing certification it still gives a solid overview of GCP. Worth reading!

This book perfectly balances getting cloud architects and engineers ready for the Google Professional Cloud Architect certification exam itself, and more importantly, ready for architecting real-world solutions on GCP for clients. I especially liked the authors' writing style, which is conversational and easy to understand. In the intro and first four chapters, the authors give a foundational overview of Google cloud services and of the Google Compute Engine Infrastructure stack of VMs, Storage and Network in GCP. I got the most benefit from Chapter 5 onwards, where the authors detail the functions and uses cases for GKE containers, app engine, serverless functions, security tools and monitoring. I spent most of my IT career as a SQL DBA, OLAP developer and Windows infrastructure specialist. Getting a firm understanding of cloud platforms and big data services on GCP was the hardest part of the Google Cloud Architecture exam for me to grasp. That, and of course memorizing all the tricky command line tools such as GSUTIL, KUBECTL and BQ. Previous to buying this book, I had followed the Google Learning Guide for Professional Cloud Architect, done Google online Qwiklabs with free GCP credits, done all the Coursera courses and LinuxAcademy courses on GCP architecture, and taken numerous practice tests on both Udemy and LinuxAcademy. Yet I still failed the first try at the test. After a month of working through this book over the Christmas 2019 holiday break, watching the coding videos provided online with each chapter, and then studying the dozens and dozens of "Exam tips" sprinkled through each chapter, I was far more prepared for the exam, had a far deeper understanding of the three standard case studies, and was more ready to provide real-life cloud architecture services to my company's clients. My average score on practice tests on LinuxAcademy went from 70% before buying this book to 90%+ after reading this book. I passed the cert test itself easily on the second try. I was glad to see that Packt publishing has a similar book for Microsoft Azure Cloud Architect certification, for the Exam on AZ-300. Assuming the format is the same, I plan to buy that book too, as I start my efforts to nab the Azure Cloud Architect certification!
