Another option is Cloud Key Management Service, which you can use to leverage Google’s globally scalable key management system while maintaining control of key operations, including full audit logging of your keys. This solution alleviates the need for you to create your own key distribution system while still enabling you to control the visibility of…

If you need to operate with minimal trust, you can use customer-supplied encryption keys (CSEKs), which enable you to maintain your own separate root of trust and push keys at time of use to Google Cloud via an API. Those keys are stored in RAM during the time required to perform the specific operation. With…

You can protect your Internet-facing applications by using Google Cloud’s Web App and API protection (WAAP) solution. WAAP combines Cloud Armor, reCAPTCHA Enterprise, and Apigee to help you mitigate many common threats. Here’s a sample web application and API security architecture that could include these components:

Users and groups are created in Cloud Identity, which is managed from the admin.google.com page rather than the GCP console. The users and groups that you create receive Google identities that can be consumed by Cloud IAM for role/permission management from the GCP console.It’s recommended to use Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS) to provision users.…

Consider Company X, which has an on-premises environment with a production and a development network. They would like to connect their on-premises environment with Google Cloud so that the resources and services can easily connect between the two environments. They can use either Cloud Interconnect for dedicated connection or Cloud VPN for connection via an…

Whether you have services in Google Cloud, on-premises, in other clouds, or all of these, your fundamental application networking challenges remain the same. How do you get traffic to these services? How do these services communicate with each other? Traffic Director can route traffic from services running in Google Cloud to services running in another…

Virtual machines: Traffic Director solves application networking for VM-based workloads alongside Kubernetes-based workloads. You simply add a flag to your Compute Engine VM instance template, and Google seamlessly handles the infrastructure set up, which includes installing and configuring the proxies that deliver application networking capabilities. As an example, traffic enters your deployment through External HTTP(S)…

Traffic Director supports application networking across Kubernetes clusters. In this example, it provides a managed and global control plane for Kubernetes clusters in the United States and Europe. Services in one cluster can talk to services in another cluster. You can even have services that consist of Pods in multiple clusters. With Traffic Director’s proximity-based…

Traffic Director works similarly to the typical service mesh model, but it’s different in a few, very crucial ways. Traffic Director provides: Traffic Director is the control plane and the services in the Kubernetes cluster, each with sidecar proxies, connect to Traffic Director. Traffic Director provides the information that the proxies need to route requests.…

You also need to make sure the foo.com development and operations teams have the right access and the right tools to build the application and deploy it. As developers write the code for the app, they can use Cloud Code within the IDE to push the code to Cloud Build, which then packages and tests…
