Knowra Google Cloud Platform Google Cloud Platform Google Cloud Platform is Google’s suite of cloud computing services for building, deploying, and operating applications and infrastructure, including computing, storage, networking, data, and machine-learning tools.
Compute Engine : Google Cloud’s service for running virtual machines on Google infrastructure. It provides configurable virtual machines for workloads that need control over their operating environment.
BigQuery : Google Cloud’s serverless data warehouse for analyzing large datasets with SQL. It turns platform-hosted data into analytical queries without managing warehouse infrastructure.
Amazon Web Services : Amazon’s cloud computing platform offering infrastructure, data, and application services. It is Google Cloud’s largest long-standing hyperscale cloud competitor.
Cloud computing : The delivery of computing resources and services over networks, usually on demand. Google Cloud is one provider within this broader model of remotely delivered computing.
Google Kubernetes Engine : Google Cloud’s managed service for deploying and operating Kubernetes clusters. It manages Kubernetes infrastructure for containerized applications on the platform.
Vertex AI : Google Cloud’s platform for building, deploying, and managing machine-learning models. It brings model development and deployment into the same cloud environment as data and applications.
Microsoft Azure : Microsoft’s cloud platform for infrastructure, application development, data, and AI services. Its enterprise ecosystem and broad service portfolio make it a direct alternative to Google Cloud.
Vendor lock-in : Dependence on a supplier that makes switching to alternatives costly or difficult. Applications built around proprietary Google Cloud services can require substantial work to move elsewhere.
Cloud Storage : Google Cloud’s object storage service for unstructured data. It stores durable objects such as backups, media, and data-lake files.
Cloud CDN : Google Cloud’s content delivery network for caching content near users. It speeds delivery of application content through Google’s globally distributed network.
