Scaling google Cloud Platform: Run Workloads Across Compute, Serverless PaaS, Database, Distributed Computing, and SRE

Managing Real-world Production-grade Challenges at Scale Key Features ● Built for GCP professionals and Cloud enthusiasts with cloud-agnostic tactics. ● Exhaustive coverage of automatic, manual, and predictive scaling and specialized strategies. ● Every concept is pragmatized with real-time production scenarios derived from prominent technologists. ‘Scaling google Cloud Platform’ equips developers with the know-how to get the most out of its services in storage, serverless computing, networking, infrastructure monitoring, and other IT tasks. This book explains the fundamentals of cloud scaling, including Cloud Elasticity, creating cloud workloads, and selecting the appropriate cloud scaling key performance indicators (KPIs). The book explains the sections of GCP resources that can be scaled, as well as their architecture and internals, and best practices for using these components in an operational setting in detail. The book also discusses scaling techniques such as predictive scaling, auto-scaling, and manual scaling. This book includes real-world examples illustrating how to scale many google Cloud services, including the compute engine, GKE, VMWare Engine, Cloud Function, Cloud Run, App Engine, BigTable, Spanner, Composer, Dataproc, and Dataflow. At the end of the book, the author delves into the two most common architectures—Microservices and Bigdata to examine how you can perform reliability engineering for them on GCP. What you will learn ● Learn workload migration strategy and execution, both within and between clouds. ● Explore methods of increasing google Cloud capacity for running VMware Engine and containerized applications. ● Scaling up and down methods include manual, predictive, and automatic approaches. ● Increase the capacity of your Dataproc cluster to handle your big data computing needs. ● Learn google Dataflow’s scalability considerations for large-scale installations. ● Explore google Composer 2 and scale up your Cloud Spanner instances. ● Learn to set up Cloud functions and Cloud run. ● Discuss general SRE procedures on microservices and big data. Who this book is for This book is designed for Cloud professionals, software developers, architects, DevOps team, and engineering managers to explain scaling strategies for GCP services and assumes readers know GCP basics.
