Welcome to this lesson on the compute power options available in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). In this session, we will explore the variety of compute services that GCP offers and examine how each option can support diverse application needs. Compute power is a critical component in running applications efficiently. GCP provides a comprehensive range of services designed to handle varied workload requirements. Consider the following use case: a key department comprising Production, Maintenance, and R&D relies on several internally built software applications currently hosted in traditional data centers. Migrating these applications to the cloud necessitates the use of robust virtual machines or servers.
The image displays icons representing various Google Cloud Platform services, such as Compute Engine, Cloud Functions, and Kubernetes Engine. Each icon is labeled with the name of the service it represents.
For this migration, we have identified four suitable options from the extensive range available:
  1. Cloud Functions
  2. Compute Engine
  3. Cloud Run
  4. Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or Kubernetes clusters
Each compute service in GCP is designed to cater to different needs, offering flexibility and scalability for modern cloud architectures.
In the following sections, we will analyze each option, discussing how they differ and the specific value they bring to your cloud infrastructure. Stay tuned as we dive into the details behind each GCP compute service to help you make informed decisions for your cloud migration strategy.
