Introduction:
With the advancement of Internet and technology, Google came forward with this service and the resources of Google cloud platforms.
These suits as well as the platform is offered by Google to several individuals and users to run several applications, products, etc., over the Internet. However, the Google cloud platforms have several limitations and categories that an individual needs to choose according to their work and requirement.
The following article will describe all about Google compute engine, its usage, and its advantages which are quite helpful for users and individuals on several grounds.
What do you mean by Google cloud platform:
The Google cloud platform is offered by Google in order to provide several facilities and services to individuals and users to perform several products, applications and projects over the infrastructure of Google. Some of these products of the Google cloud platform include Google search, Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive, and several others. The basic services that are provided by these Google cloud platforms include data analytics, data storage, machine learning as well as computing. There are several Google cloud platforms that individuals can use to surf the Internet as well as run various applications. There are mainly six types of Google cloud platforms available on the Internet. They are as follows:
• Google app engine
• google cloud functions
• cloud run
• VMware engine
• Google compute engine
• Kubernetes engine
All about Google compute engine and its usage:
The Google compute engine are a Google cloud platform that Google offers, but it is translated as an unmanageable compute service. The basic offering by this Google cloud platform is Iaas offering. The services that are endured by this compute engine are quite unmanageable. Therefore, it is responsible mainly for the administration, monitoring and configuration of the system. However, the Google compute engine is the most reliable and ready-to-use service offered in the category of cloud platforms.
Moreover, the Google compute engines consist of several instances, which are also considered zones. Each of these virtual machines is provided certain zones under the limit of which they work and perform. Each zone has their geological location that can be useful for easily finding out that particular zone which makes working over the Google compute engine more convenient and easier.
Advantages of Google compute engine:
Google compute engine is the most widely used Google cloud platform that provides a number of resources and services to individuals. A number of advantages are associated with the Google compute engine. Some of them are as follows:
• One of the widely known advantages of the Google compute engine is that it allows complete overall control over the instances of the virtual machine.
• The Google compute engine is quite easy to use and easy to set up as well as the server can be spun up within a few minutes.
• The Google compute engine provides more control as list X ability over the resources that are available under the use for the individuals or the user.
• Moreover, on a cost basis, the comparison of the Google app engine and Google compute engine is done where the Google compute engine is much more affordable than the Google app engine.
• Moreover, the Google compute engine also provides the facility of using the pre-emptive VM, which is quite helpful and convenient as well as reduces the cost by around 80%
• Moreover, the Google compute engine is also associated with several VM images and VM configuration resources which are already available in hand that can be used whenever necessary or required.
The disadvantage of the Google compute engine:
Apart from having several advantages and useful resources under the Google compute engine, there are several jaw bags and disadvantages. Some of these disadvantages offered by the Google compute engine are as follows:
• The Google compute engine is a quite complex cloud platform that requires a high expertise level to use it.
• When it comes to the comparison of the Google compute engine with the Google app engine, the Google compute engine is quite slow in auto-scaling.
• Moreover, to provide the service of monitoring, the Google compute engine requires the installation of several packages under VM and instances.
• The Google compute engine did not provide the direct stack driver monitoring facility.
• Moreover, the Google compute engine is less secure when it is considered to be under comparison with the Google app engine.
Conclusion:
Google offers several Google cloud platforms for convenience and using the basis of users and individuals. However, the Google compute engine is one of the most widely used cloud platforms. It offers IaaS Offering, an unmanageable service that makes it more responsible for monitoring, administrating, and configuring the system. Moreover, the Google compute engine consists of several predefined and already available resources that individuals can use whenever they need them and per their requirements.
