Summary

In this chapter, you learned some of the basic skills that are fundamental for any architect working with Google Cloud. You learned about IAM and the least privilege principle. You then learned about how to save costs in Google Cloud and improve your cost discipline overall. Finally, you worked on a case study where you put some of these skills into practice by creating a budget and alert rule, setting IAM policies, and deploying a basic PaaS service for an application pilot deployment.

Now that we have covered the fundamentals and have set the foundation, we'll go even deeper in the next few chapters by learning how to design great solutions with Google Cloud. We shall start with the network.
