Google Cloud Services: what is it about and how to use it?
Google Cloud (also known as Google Cloud Platform or GCP) is a provider of resources for developing, deploying, and operating applications on the Internet. Although its cloud infrastructure serves as the host for such applications as Google Workplace, GCP is mainly a service for building and maintaining original applications, which may then be published on the Internet from its data center facilities.
You use a cloud platform when you want to build and run an application that can leverage the power of large data centers in some way: to reach users worldwide, to borrow sophisticated analytics and AI functions, or to utilize massive data storage. You pay not for the machine, but for the resources the machine uses.
AWS vs Google Cloud
AWS and Google Cloud are seemed to be equal at some range but let's dig deeper and figure out if it is so.
When it comes to Google Cloud Platform, you basically get more IOPS for less than 1/3 of the cost. With AWS, you are about to pay $1,102.50/month with a 3-year contract as opposed to Google Cloud’s $470.64/month. IOPS is a measurement for input/output operations per second and how often a device can perform IO tasks. In most cases, the greater the number of IOPS, the better the performance.
Moreover, when Keller Williams switched from AWS to Google Cloud, development was 75% faster. Keller Williams, the world's largest real estate agent by number of employees, decided to move to the cloud, mainly because of the desire to work more closely with artificial intelligence and big data.
Benefits of using Google Cloud solutions
Google Cloud is regarded as the third biggest Cloud Service Provider (CSP) behind Amazon’s AWS and Microsoft Azure. The major benefits of using Google Cloud Services are below:
-
Security
The GCP infrastructure is equipped with security scanners, management and command centers, threat detection tools, binary authorization settings, and instruments for prevention of information loss. -
Live migration
Another huge advantage for Google Cloud Hosting, especially for how we use it here at RIVO AGENCY, is live migrations of Virtual Machines. Neither AWS, Azure nor smaller providers like DigitalOcean offer this functionality. -
Computing and storage
Google Cloud allows deploying code in Ruby, Python, Java, C# and Go. Its computing engine supports virtual machines on Linux and Windows. -
Networking
Google offers services for sharing text and media content, VPN services, private cloud, and enterprise connectivity tools. You can also check the safety of all network connections and protect your software from DDoS attacks with Cloud Armor. -
Convenient pricing
Price innovation, such as a one-minute fee and discounts, saves you money. As Google’s infrastructure becomes more efficient, cost aspect also decreases. -
Unlimited scalability
Google Cloud Platform is ideal for businesses that grow and that operate with huge power leaps. Instead of paying for maximum bandwidth using GCP, you can dynamically change your power and pay only for use.
Google Cloud vs Microsoft Azure
On this graph, we see the overwhelming popularity of Google Cloud over its competitor Microsoft Azure.
