The Google Compute Engine service lets you create and run virtual machine instances on GCP. Just like any other cloud provider, Google lets you deploy and manage virtual machine instances in a true Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) fashion. Google Compute Engine also supports a variety of operating systems including Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 R2 and 2016, Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE, CentOS, CoreOS, and Debian. You can even import a disk image from your on-premises environment. Each instance is part of a project and contains a small persistent root disk and more storage can be added depending on your requirements. A virtual private cloud (VPC) network can also be attached to an instance with an assigned IP address. We will discuss storage and networking requirements more later in this chapter.

Overview of this book
On-premise data centers are costly to manage. If you need a data center but don’t want to deal with a physical one, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is the solution. With GCP, you can build, test, and deploy applications on Google’s infrastructure.
Google Cloud Platform Administration begins with GCP fundamentals, with the help of which you will deploy your first app and gain an understanding of Google Cloud architecture and services. Furthermore, you will learn how to manage Compute, networking, and storage resources. As you make your way through the book, you will learn how to track and manage GCP’s usage, monitoring, and billing access control. You will also be able to manage your GCP's access and permissions. In the concluding chapters, you will explore a list of different developer tools for managing and interacting with the GCP platform.
By the end of this book, you will have learned how to effectively deploy workloads on GCP.
