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

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…

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 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.

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 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.

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

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

Shared VPC allows an organization to connect resources from multiple projects to a common Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network so that they can communicate with each other securely and efficiently by using internal IP addresses from that network. When you use Shared VPC, you designate a project as a host project and attach one or more other service projects to it. The VPC…

Before you run production workloads on Google Cloud, we recommend you configure an initial foundation to support your work. Google Cloud setup helps administrators configure Google Cloud for scalable workloads. The setup process guides you through an interactive procedure that helps you create a foundational architecture with best practices in mind.
