Cloud Services Platform: Google Services Package for Hybrid Cloud Deployment

Google wants to simplify the use of cloud environments to a large extent and announced on the Cloud Next 18 platform the Cloud Services platform. According to the announcement, it is "an integrated family of cloud services" that allows customers to " increase speed and reliability, enhance security and governance, and create builds for any environment "]. Google may also offer an on-site solution for its Kubernetes GKE engine in the future.

] As the initiator of the Kubernetes container orchestration, Google runs GKE for about a year with a Kubernetes distribution hosted in Google Cloud and maintained by Google. In the future, this can be exploited by customers in the data center of their choice. This will simplify the installation and upgrade, and Google will provide support to the companies. Customers continue to gain access to the newly launched Kubernetes application market and can seamlessly manage their clusters in Google Cloud and their own data center.

Easier and safer service management

Avoiding the security of various clusters Thanks to GKE Policy Management, Google allows centralized policy management to lose sight of when configuring Kubernetes. Administrators can create a central repository for the corresponding policies, which are then synchronized with all Kubernetes clusters. The service should be available soon in alpha version.

For customers using Google Cloud to implement a microservice architecture, Google is working with others on the Istio open source tool, which easily interconnects microservices. should. Istio will soon be available in version 1.0, ready for enterprise deployment. Based on this, Google offers a company-managed Istio solution that runs in the cloud and relies on the GKE.

As part of the Cloud Services Platform, Google also offers Stackdriver Service Surveillance. This makes it easy to view all current services with their dependencies and connections. In addition, there is a monitoring solution and a service dashboard that collects all the signals of a service centrally.

As an extension of the Cloud Services Platform, there will also be a GKE add-on for implementing serverless services. The underlying technique is created in the open-source Knative project, which aims to provide the foundation for building and distributing container-based serverless applications. In order for nothing to go wrong when creating applications, customers can now rely on the Cloud Build platform for continuous integration and streaming (CI / CD) of Google

Cloud Services Platform is part of the Cisco Hybrid offering. that both companies are growing together since last year.
