Programming Google Cloud: Building Cloud Native Applications with Gcp

Companies looking to move enterprise applications to the cloud are busy weighing several options, such as the use of containers, machine learning, and serverless computing. There's a better way. Instead of helping you fit your use case to individual technologies, this practical guide explains how to use these technologies to fit your use case.

Author Rui Costa, a learning consultant with Google, demonstrates this approach by showing you how to run your application on Google Cloud. Each chapter is dedicated to an area of technology that you need to address when planning and deploying your application. This book starts by presenting a detailed fictional use case, followed by chapters that focus on the building blocks necessary to deploy a secure enterprise application successfully.

• Build serverless applications with Google Cloud Functions
• Explore use cases for deploying a real-time messaging service
• Deploy applications to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
• Build multiregional GKE clusters
• Integrate continuous integration and continuous delivery with your application
• Incorporate Google Cloud APIs, including speech-to-text and data loss prevention
• Enrich data with Google Cloud Dataflow
• Secure your application with Google Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy
• Explore BigQuery and visualization with Looker and BigQuery SDKs

企業希望將企業應用程式遷移到雲端，正在忙於評估多種選項，例如使用容器、機器學習和無伺服器運算。然而，有一種更好的方法。這本實用指南不僅僅是幫助您將使用案例與個別技術相匹配，更重要的是解釋如何使用這些技術來適應您的使用案例。

作者Rui Costa是Google的學習顧問，他通過展示如何在Google Cloud上運行應用程式來演示這種方法。每一章都專注於在規劃和部署應用程式時需要處理的技術領域。本書首先介紹了一個詳細的虛構使用案例，然後是專注於成功部署安全企業應用程式所需的基礎模塊的章節。

本書的內容包括：
- 使用Google Cloud Functions建立無伺服器應用程式
- 探索部署即時消息服務的使用案例
- 將應用程式部署到Google Kubernetes Engine（GKE）
- 構建多區域GKE集群
