Google Cloud Platform
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a suite of cloud computing services offered by Google, providing infrastructure, platform, and software-as-a-service solutions. It includes services for computing, storage, networking, big data, machine learning, and application development, running on the same infrastructure that powers Google's consumer products. GCP enables businesses to build, deploy, and scale applications and services in a global, secure, and highly available environment.
Developers should learn GCP to build scalable, resilient applications leveraging Google's advanced technologies like AI/ML, data analytics, and global networking. It's ideal for modern cloud-native development, data-intensive workloads, and enterprises seeking multi-cloud or hybrid cloud strategies. Use cases include deploying microservices with Google Kubernetes Engine, analyzing big data with BigQuery, or implementing machine learning models with Vertex AI.
