Outline

 What is the Google Cloud?


 Why developers may choose to use Google’s cloud
 Considerations
 Features / Scalability
 Language
 Editor
 Cost of sandbox
 Learning More
What is Google’s Cloud?

 Set of offerings / services for public consumption


 Two target audiences
 Consumer
 Developer
 Many services are in production
 Some services are still in public or private beta
 Free tier for most services is quite generous
Which cloud services are available for Consumers?

 IaaS – infrastructure (or storage) as a service


 Google Drive – cloud storage for Google applications
 Google Fiber – very limited beta in Kansas City, KS only at this time
 PaaS – platform as a service
 N/A
 SaaS – storage (or software) as a service
 Google Docs – cloud-based word processing, spreadsheets, presentations
and more
 Other cloud services
 Google Play – application store
 YouTube – video hosting
Which cloud services are available for Developers?

 IaaS – infrastructure as a service


 Scalable compute via Google Compute Engine
 PaaS – platform as a service
 Scalable managed compute via Google App Engine
 SaaS – storage as a service
 Scalable storage via many choices
 RDBMS, NoSQL, more…
 Other cloud services
 Big Query – query as a service
 Prediction API – data mining as a service
 Translation API – translation as a service
 Google Maps – mapping as a service
 Google Hangouts API – collaboration applications
 More…
IaaS -- Google Compute Engine

 Compute that auto-scales (VMs)


 Competes with AWS EC2 and Windows Azure VMs (beta)
 Currently only Linux VMs
 Currently in Invite-only Beta
 Interface via
 Web Console (limited)
 Python client
 APIs
