Data storage services

All application need persistent and durable storage to accomplish their purpose.

Applications vary in their storage requirements, so Google Cloud Platform offers many persistent storage services.

Note: BigQuery is grayed out. BigQuery sits on the edge between data storage and data processing. You can store data in BigQuery, but the usual reason to do this is to use BigQuery's big data analysis and interactive querying capabilities

All data in GCP is encrypted while at rest and encrypted in flight.

Different applications and workloads require different storage and database solutions. Google offers a full suite of industry-leading storage services that are price performant and meet your needs for structured, unstructured, transnational, and relational data. This decision chart helps you identify the solutions that fit your scenarios.

Container and Container Orchestration

What is container? Container contain application code and dependencies into single Unit. So, what is Container orchestration? Container orchestration is about to managing life cycle of container. Container orchestration to control and automate task: Provisioning and deployment of container Scaling up and removing container as per application load Allocation the resource between Container Health check of container Kubernetes open Source is the example of Container Orchestration

Cloud Storage and Cloud IAM or ACLs or Signed URLs

Cloud Storage offers layers of increasingly granular access control. For most purposes, Cloud IAM is sufficient, and roles are inherited from project to bucket to object. Access control lists (ACL) offer finer control. And for detailed control, signed URLs provide a cryptographic key that gives time-limited access to a bucket or object. A signed policy document further refines the control by determining what kind of file can be uploaded by someone with a signed URL Cloud IAM Works with Cloud Storage just as with using Cloud IAM with any other resource. Project Owners are automatically granted Bucket Owner role for all buckets in the project. Note that ACLs and Cloud IAM are independent, so Project-level Cloud IAM permissions will not appear in bucket or object ACLs. Signed URLs A signed URL gives you the ability to grant access to a bucket without Cloud IAM user authentication for a limited period of time. e.g., when you don’t want to require users to have Goog...

Service Accounts

What if you want to give permissions to a Compute Engine virtual machine rather than to a person? That’s what service accounts are for. For instance, maybe you have an application running in a virtual machine that needs to store data in Google Cloud Storage. But you don’t want to let just anyone on the Internet have access to that data; only that virtual machine. So you’d create a service account to authenticate your VM to Cloud Storage. Service accounts are named with an email address, but instead of passwords they use cryptographic keys to access resources. Service Accounts control server-to-server interactions: Provide an identity for carrying out server-to-server interactions in a project Used to authenticate from one service to another Used to control privileges used by resources So that applications can perform actions on behalf of authenticated end users Identified with an ...
