Data

Databases Vs Data Warehouses:
Generate computing in data centres and access the data using grids (internet). (Same principle
as used in electricity generation and distribution) Databases are built and optimized to enable ingesting large amounts of data from many different sources
efficiently.
Google seems to focus more on data as compared to AWS. It mentions that cloud Data warehouses are built to enable rapid analysis of large and multi-dimensional datasets.
alone would add only a fraction of true value to business. We need AI/ML A central hub for all business data
powered smart analytics to leverage true value out of large amount of data (user
data, corporate data, industry ). Data Lake:
A repository for raw data.
Data map - a chart of all the data used in end-to-end business processes 'Back-up' data.
API - to integrate applications/platforms
Cloud Storage ( Regional Storage, multi-regional storage)
Pub/Sub - real time data ingestion
Data Flow - large scale data processing
Google Cloud AI Platform
Looker - GCP's BI solutions that can run on top of any analytics database
Cloudspanner - replicate data across multiple regions
Data Quality:
Data should be clean, covered, complete
Vertex AI
4 common business problems: RankBrain
Google's deep learning , neural n/w algorithm used for sorting the search results
1. Replacing rule-based systems
2. Automating processes
3. Understanding unstructured data
4. Personalizing applications

Migrating to cloud --> CapEx to OpEx Compute options: Private Cloud
VMs Hybrid Cloud
Containerization Multi-cloud
Serverless computing Public Cloud
Anthos:
Containers virtualize/recreate operating systems !
Five ways to migrate on-prem apps to cloud:
Lift and Shift
APIs not just as an integration tool but a product to earn revenue, API strategy
e.g. walgreens - photo printing/processing business, earn revenue from customers as well
as developers who want to use walgreens API in their apps
APIgee - Google's API management tool
Bridging the gap between legacy apps providing data and modern apps interacting with users Apigee services:

Cost management, security, monitoring

Google cloud cost management best practices: Difference between:
Privacy
# Total cost of ownership (TCO) Security - set of policies, rules, regulations
# Financial governance tools Compliance - third party standards
availability
Service level agreements (SLA)
Service level objective(SLO)
Data encryption Key (DEK) encrypts the chunks of data to be store on google
cloud. Those keys are in turn encrypted using key encrypting keys (KEK).
Envelope encryption
Zero-trust policy for security
Least privilege model
Google's Defence in depth data security design
Shared security responsibility model
Google cloud resource monitoring tools: GOOGLE CLOUD OPERATIONS SUITE
Resource Hierarchy
Operation focused tools:
Cloud monitoring -- metrics, dashboards (foundation for SRE)
Cloud logging -- fully managed service, use for app troubleshoooting
Error reporting
Service monitoring
App performance monitoring tools:
Cloud Debugger
Cloud Trace -- distributed tracing especially for containerized microservices
Cloud Profiler
GKE, cloudspanner, BigQuery stream logs into Cloud monitoring and Cloud logging.
Traditional on-prem perimeter level security model
Vs.
Devops principles: Multi-layer security model of cloud providers
Reduce silos
Accept failure as normal (foster blameless, iterative, collaborative work environment)
Implement gradual change
Leverage tooling and automation
Measure everything
