Chapter 3: Designing the Network
The network is the foundation of a compute infrastructure, and any design decision you make at this level is very hard to revert later on. Therefore, it is essential to get things right from the start of the network architecture.
In this chapter, you will learn Google Cloud's approach to networking and its available services, as well as the design considerations for building networks and setting up hybrid connectivity between an on-premises environment (or another cloud) and Google Cloud. You will also learn how to create a shared virtual private cloud (VPC) to share networks across projects, as well as how to configure routes and firewall access on networks. Finally, you will learn about some of the common network designs in Google Cloud.
In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:
- Designing networks and subnetworks
- Understanding routes and firewalls in Google Cloud
- Understanding load balancing...
