Summary

In this chapter, we introduced GCP's IaaS offering—Compute Engine. This is a basic offering by Google and aligns with a traditional VM. We discussed how to deploy an instance and how to add to instance groups to scale our services automatically.

In the next chapter, we will move away from IaaS and introduce Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

The Google Cloud Platform is fast emerging as a leading public cloud provider. The GCP, as it is popularly known, is backed by Google's awe-inspiring engineering expertise and infrastructure and is able to draw upon the goodwill and respect that Google has come to enjoy. The GCP is one of a handful of public cloud providers to offer the full range of cloud computing services, ranging from IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) to PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service). There is another reason the GCP is fast gaining popularity; genre-defining technologies such as TensorFlow and Kubernetes originated at Google before being open-sourced, and the GCP is a natural choice of cloud on which to run them. If you are a cloud professional today, time spent on mastering the GCP is likely to be an excellent investment.
