Introduction to Google Cloud Platform
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a suite of public cloud computing services offered by Google. The platform strictly mirrors the exact same internal infrastructure that Google explicitly uses internally for its end-user products, such as Google Search, Gmail, and YouTube.
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Security forms the absolute bedrock foundation of any public cloud provider. In GCP, access explicitly operates heavily relying on Cloud IAM.
Regions and Zones
Google Cloud's physical infrastructure is housed inside globally distributed data centers comprehensively protecting data latency natively.
