  • Choosing a storage classes

    Cloud Storage has four storage classes: Standard, Nearline, Coldline and Archive. Each of those storage classes provide 3 location types: Characteristics applicable to all storage classes:

  • Setting up trusted image policies

    By default, users in your project can create persistent disks or copy images using any of the public images and any images that principals can access through IAM roles. However, in some situations you might want to restrict principals so that they can create boot disks only from images that contain approved software that meets your policy or…

  • Persistent Disk

    By default, Compute Engine encrypts all data at rest. Google Cloud handles and manages this encryption for you without any additional actions on your part

  • Running shutdown scripts

    Create and run shutdown scripts that execute commands right before a virtual machine (VM) instance is stopped or restarted. This is useful if you rely on automated scripts to start up and shut down instances, allowing instances time to clean up or perform tasks, such as exporting logs, or syncing with other systems. Shutdown scripts…

  • Preemptible and Spot VMs

    Spot VMs are highly affordable compute instances suitable for batch jobs and fault-tolerant workloads. Spot VMs offer the same machine types, options, and performance as regular compute instances.

  • Compute Engine Machine Types

    Compute Engine offers general-purpose machine series that run on either x86 or Arm architecture. The Tau T2A machine series is the first machine series in Google Cloud to run on Arm processors.

  • Shared VPC vs. VPC peering

    Let’s compare both of these configurations to help you decide which is appropriate for a given situation. Shared VPCs are useful when projects are in the same organization but are not used when traffic needs to flow between projects in different organizations. In that case, VPC network peering can be used.

  • VPC peering

    VPC Peering connects two VPC Networks: VPC Network Peering does not incur the network latency, security, and cost drawbacks that are present when using external IP addresses or VPNs.

  • Network pricing

    This table is from the Compute Engine documentation, and it lists the price of each traffic type.

  • Routes

    There are 3 kinds of routes: Subnet routes, Static routes, Dynamic routes.
