Suppose you received a task to create a share so that the owner of vm-a and the owner of vm-b can work together on documents in a folder structure. Both VMs are deployed as Compute Engine VMs that run in the europe-central2 region with an NFS client already installed. The files take around 500 GB…

At Google Cloud, block storage in the form of disks emulating physical drives and attached to a compute layer is used by Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Google Compute Engine (GCE). An operating system recognizes block storage as a volume that can be formatted so applications can use it. Compute Engine instance has, by default,…

Imagine setting up a Google Cloud Storage bucket for storing a copy of your backup data of the on-premises systems located in your data center in Frankfurt. You want your bucket to be the closest to your data center location and be available even if one of the Google regions fails. You expect the data…

Google Cloud Storage offers an automated command line tool, gsutil, to manage bucket and object level operations such as create, list, delete, move, and copy on a larger scale.You can start by using gsutil from the Cloud Shell and practice the following commands:• To create a unique-name-of-the-bucket bucket with a standard storage class in the…

Storage classes work best when the frequency of operations on objects in a bucket can be predicted. But what about unpredictable access patterns? Although you can change the storage class of an individual object via a command line (a storage class is a metadata of an object), this could be unprofitable because the object will…

To optimize the cost of storing your data, based on the projected frequency of operations on objects in a bucket, you can choose one of the following storage classes as a default one for all of the objects in a bucket: The following figure shows how the price and availability can differ depending on the…

This chapter will explore how to store data in Google Cloud. We are going to cover the following storage types: Google Cloud provides multiple fully managed services for different types of application needs. Each section will look into a specific type of storage and their features, security, and availability. We will also cover the use…

Let’s go through a sample Marketplace solution deployment. In Google Cloud Marketplace’s search area, we will specify wordpress, one of the most popular blogging platforms, so that we can deploy WordPress automatically on Google Cloud: Figure 7.41 – WordPress offering in Google Cloud Marketplace From the 77 results, we will select one to be deployed…

Cloud Foundation Toolkit (CFT) is a set of reference templates that reflect Google Cloud best practices. CFT-provided templates can be used to quickly build repeatable enterprise-ready environments in Google Cloud. CFT can be deployed using Deployment Manager or Terraform. Google Cloud provides Terraform blueprints and modules that can be used immediately. For the list of…

There is no better way to learn than to get our hands dirty and implement the code. Let’s get started: Figure 7.36 – Successfully initializing the Terraform provider Figure 7.37 – Terraform validates and shows the execution plan Figure 7.38 – Terraform code execution completed Figure 7.39 – Resource deletion is finishedAs this example has…
