INTRODUCTION TO GOOGLE CLOUD PLATFORM
With Google Cloud Platform (GCP), you can build, test, and deploy applications on Google’s highly-scalable and reliable infrastructure for your web, mobile, and back-end solutions.
GCP resources
GCP consists of a set of physical assets, such as computers and hard disk drives, and virtual resources, such as virtual machines (VMs), that are contained in Google’s data centers around the globe. Each data center location is in a global region. Regions include Central US, Western Europe, and East Asia. Each region is a collection of zones, which are isolated from each other within the region. Each zone is identified by a name that combines a letter identifier with the name of the region. For example, zone an in the East Asia region is named Asia-east1-a.
Accessing resources through services
In cloud computing, what you might be used to thinking of as software and hardware products, become services. These services provide access to the underlying resources. The list of available GCP services is long, and it keeps growing. When you develop your website or application on GCP, you mix and match these services into combinations that provide the infrastructure you need, and then add your code to enable the scenarios you want to build.
Global, regional, and zonal resources
Some resources can be accessed by any other resource, across regions and zones. These global resources include pre configured disk images, disk snapshots, and networks. Some resources can be accessed only by resources that are located in the same region.
