GCP - Resources and Access in the Cloud



It’s important to understand this resource hierarchy, as it directly relates to how policies are managed and applied when using Google Cloud. Policies can be defined at the project, folder, and organization node levels. Some Google Cloud services allow policies to be applied to individual resources, too. Policies are also inherited downward. This means that if you apply a policy to a folder, it will also apply to all of the projects within that folder




Each Google Cloud project has three identifying attributes: a project ID, a project name, and a project number.

● The project ID is a globally unique identifier assigned by Google that cannot be changed–they are immutable–after creation. Project IDs are used in different contexts to inform Google Cloud of the exact project to work with. 

 ● The project names, however, are user-created. They don’t have to be unique and they can be changed at any time, so they are not immutable. 

● Google Cloud also assigns each project a unique project number. It’s helpful to know that these Google-generated numbers exist, but we won’t explore them much in this course. They are mainly used internally, by Google Cloud, to keep track of resources.



The third level of the Google Cloud resource hierarchy is folders. 

Folders let you assign policies to resources at a level of granularity you choose. The projects and subfolders in a folder contain resources that inherit policies and permissions assigned to that folder. 

 A folder can contain projects, other folders, or a combination of both.

Terraform

Image
  Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that lets you build, change, and version cloud and on-prem resources safely and efficiently. HashiCorp Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that lets you define both cloud and on-prem resources in human-readable configuration files that you can version, reuse, and share. You can then use a consistent workflow to provision and manage all of your infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. Terraform can manage low-level components like compute, storage, and networking resources, as well as high-level components like DNS entries and SaaS features. How does Terraform work? Terraform creates and manages resources on cloud platforms and other services through their application programming interfaces (APIs). Providers enable Terraform to work with virtually any platform or service with an accessible API. HashiCorp and the Terraform community have already written  thousands of providers  to manage many different types of resources and services.

Understanding the MoSCoW prioritization | How to implement it into your project Projects, irrespective of their size or complexity, often juggle numerous tasks and requirements. In such a scenario,  MoSCoW prioritization  becomes essential to ensure the successful completion of the project.  Besides, it is also a very effective way to manage project priorities. With a straightforward and adaptable approach, the MoSCoW method helps manage stakeholder expectations and improve project outcomes. What is the MoSCoW prioritization technique?  The MoSCoW method is a prioritization matrix widely used in project management and software development. The term MoSCoW is an acronym that stands for  Must have ,  Should have ,  Could have , and  Won’t have , each denoting a level of priority. Here is the breakdown of the MoSCoW method:  Must have:  These are critical requirements that the project cannot be completed without them. If these are not fulfilled, the project is con

Kubernetes

  Using containers to host applications and other processes has gone mainstream. As more and more workload is moved into containers, management systems are needed to handle the demands of containerized applications at scale. One of the most popular options for managing  container-based workload is Kubernetes . Kubernetes combines container management automation with an extensible API to create a cloud-native application management powerhouse. At its core, Kubernetes manages the placement of pods, which can consist of one or more containers, on a Kubernetes cluster node. Additionally, if one of these pods crashes, Kubernetes can create a new instance of it. If a cluster node is removed, Kubernetes can move any affected workload to a different node in the cluster. On top of that, Kubernetes pods can be scaled to provide more or less throughput to meet scale demands and these scale operations can be triggered manually or automatically using Kuberentes horizontal pod auto-scaling. Finally,
