Chapter 9: The Initial Architecture on Google Compute Engine
We will now take our first step toward modernizing our application by moving it to the cloud. In this chapter, we will not be making any changes to the application itself, but instead we will be looking at the absolute minimum infrastructure architecture needed to run the application on Google Cloud. Once we have our initial architecture, we will then go step by step through implementing the architecture on Google Cloud using the Google Cloud Console.
In this chapter, we will cover the following:
- The initial infrastructure design
- Creating the modernization project
- Implementing the network
- Implementing the Virtual Machines (VMs)
- Importing the data
