Data management strategies for your databases in Google Cloud

In the previous section, we learned that the choice we make from the different database options offered by Google Cloud will depend on the workloads we face when considering factors such as data structure, data volume, latency, and throughput.

The Google Cloud Platform is fast emerging as a leading public cloud provider.

The GCP is one of a handful of public cloud providers to offer the full range of cloud computing services, ranging from IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) to PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service). There is another reason the GCP is fast gaining popularity; genre-defining technologies such as TensorFlow and Kubernetes originated at Google before being open-sourced, and the GCP is a natural choice of cloud on which to run them. If you are a cloud professional today, time spent on mastering the GCP is likely to be an excellent investment.
