Key benefits

  • Build your foundation in Google Cloud with this clearly laid out, step-by-step guide
  • Get expert advice from one of Google's top trainers
  • Learn to build flexibility and security into your Google Cloud presence from the ground up

Description

From data ingestion and storage, through data processing and data analytics, to application hosting and even machine learning, whatever your IT infrastructural need, there's a good chance that Google Cloud has a service that can help. But instant, self-serve access to a virtually limitless pool of IT resources has its drawbacks. More and more organizations are running into cost overruns, security problems, and simple "why is this not working?" headaches. This book has been written by one of Google’s top trainers as a tutorial on how to create your infrastructural foundation in Google Cloud the right way. By following Google’s ten-step checklist and Google’s security blueprint, you will learn how to set up your initial identity provider and create an organization. Further on, you will configure your users and groups, enable administrative access, and set up billing. Next, you will create a resource hierarchy, configure and control access, and enable a cloud network. Later chapters will guide you through configuring monitoring and logging, adding additional security measures, and enabling a support plan with Google. By the end of this book, you will have an understanding of what it takes to leverage Terraform for properly building a Google Cloud foundational layer that engenders security, flexibility, and extensibility from the ground up.

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone looking to implement a secure foundational layer in Google Cloud, including cloud engineers, DevOps engineers, cloud security practitioners, developers, infrastructural management personnel, and other technical leads. A basic understanding of what the cloud is and how it works, as well as a strong desire to build out Google Cloud infrastructure the right way will help you make the most of this book. Knowledge of working in the terminal window from the command line will be beneficial.

What you will learn

  • Create an organizational resource hierarchy in Google Cloud
  • Configure user access, permissions, and key Google Cloud Platform (GCP) security groups
  • Construct well thought out, scalable, and secure virtual networks
  • Stay informed about the latest logging and monitoring best practices
  • Leverage Terraform infrastructure as code automation to eliminate toil
  • Limit access with IAM policy bindings and organizational policies
  • Implement Google s secure foundation blueprint

One of the better Google Cloud Foundation books that I've read, "The Ultimate Guide to Building a Google Cloud Foundation" is not only a great certification study resource, but it's also a great resource for any individual, team, or organization that is interested in learning more about Google Cloud, and especially how to deploy a Cloud Foundation that will support their needs in to the future.Especially helpful are the terraform code samples for most aspects of a Cloud Foundation, and helpful guidance for those just getting started with terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code.Even with Google Cloud experience, this is a great reference to to learn something new and try out some best practices.

It starts with the basics for those who are unfamiliar with GCP, which will guide you from the beginning, and then moves on to IAM, where it was briefed in a way that will boost your satisfaction to move forward.Then it proceeds to Billing so that we can become acquainted with how we will be charged based on our service usage, as well as its best practices.Then there's Terraform, IAM roles, networking, monitoring, and security.Overall, after finishing this book, you will be quite familiar with Google basics and its foundation.This book is the benchmark for your GCP journey.

When first starting out in Google Cloud it can be difficult to know what all the best practices are, what pieces you do and don't need, and how to work with the platform in general. This book is a single destination that lays out everything to you need to build a production ready environment in Google Cloud while following industry best practices.The author does a great job of walking through all the pieces that are needed to lay a solid Google Cloud foundation. He is able to simplify complex topics and point you to the right places to get started without going into too much depth on individual services.While I think that people just starting out with Google Cloud will gain the most benefit from this book, there is enough good information in here that anyone working with Google Cloud will find this useful.

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. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

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.
