QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
what are availability zones and regions - ANSWER-regions: specific geographic location
where you can host your resources
availability zones: locations within zones where cloud services originate and operate
how to choose availability zone - ANSWER-latency: closer region and zone to where
software or content is delivered. chose close to highest density of customers
cost: different regions have different costs
backup: in case an AZ goes down there should be at least 2 redundant AZs in the
region
what is compute engine (iaas)? - ANSWER-secure and customizable compute service
for running and creating VMs on GCP
what is app engine (paas)? - ANSWER-fully-managed serverless platform for
developing, testing, and deploying applications on GCP
App Engine Standard vs Flexible - ANSWER-
what is GKE - ANSWER-managed kubernetes: scaling and orchestrating container
clusters. configuration such as networking and storage and monitoring
What is cloud run - ANSWER-deploying stateless containerized microservices/ images
What are cloud functions - ANSWER-execute code based in the occurrence of a
specified event
How to migrate VMs to GCP - ANSWER-Cloud migrate for compute engine
what is cloud storage - ANSWER-stores immutable objects in buckets (think file)
what are buckets - ANSWER-used to organize objects and control access (think folder)
what is block storage (persistent disk) - ANSWER-discrete amounts of data that are
composed to create a file. replicated for fault tolerance
how to access cloud storage - ANSWER-console, gsutil, client libraries, RestAPIs
cloud SQL - ANSWER-Description:
