Summary
In this chapter, we continued to build our secure and extensible foundation in Google Cloud by completing step 8, where we implemented key parts of our logging and monitoring foundations. We overviewed the tools that Google has for us to help with instrumentation, and then we focused on logging and monitoring. We explored how Google ingests and routes logs, and we looked at the various log types. Then, we moved on to monitoring and saw the various ways Google helps us monitor the services we have running inside of Google Cloud. Lastly, we discussed the additional elements our foundation needed as it relates to logging and monitoring.
Great going, y’all! Keep on hanging in there, and we are going to get this foundation built.
If you want to keep on moving through Google’s 10-step checklist with me, your personal tutor, by your side, flip the page to the next chapter where we are going to discuss our final two foundational steps: security and support.
