Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a strong contender to the incumbents Amazon Web Services and Azure as the most prominent cloud service provider in the startup and enterprise world. When you think big, when you think about global scale and when you think about state-of-the art technology, the GCP will not let you down. The software and hardware, and the services built on them, come from Google's homegrown research. Both start-ups and enterprises now benefit from the wide array of services provided by GCP.

With GCP, it is easy to perform your business as usual using IaaS, PaaS, and container services backed with strongly supported networking, database offerings, and storage. GCP provides some unique services that are not available with any other provider, especially in managing huge volumes of data, machine learning, and AI.

The book covers a broad range of recipes to give you a taste of the GCP. If you are an architect, you'll find some interesting features of GCP that you can build upon. If you are a developer, you'll get your hands dirty on most of the important services and how to manage them programmatically.

This book aims at IT professionals, engineers, and developers who are looking at implementing Google Cloud in their organizations. Administrators and architects planning to make their organization more efficient using Google Cloud will also find this book useful.

, Compute, contains recipes on the compute services of the GCP, namely Google Compute Engine, Google App Engine, Kubernetes Engine, and Google Cloud Functions.

, Storage and Databases, provides some recipes on Google Cloud Storage and some of the database options available (Cloud Spanner, Cloud BigQuery, Cloud Bigtable, and Cloud Datastore).
