Курс 1 из 3 — Specialization Security in Google Cloud Platform

***NEW! Specialization Completion Challenge, receive Qwiklabs credits valued up to $180! See below for details.*** This course introduces you to important concepts and terminology for working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You learn about, and compare, many of the computing and storage services available in Google Cloud Platform, including Google App Engine, Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, Google Cloud Storage, Google Cloud SQL, and BigQuery. You learn about important resource and policy management tools, such as the Google Cloud Resource Manager hierarchy and Google Cloud Identity and Access Management. Hands-on labs give you foundational skills for working with GCP. SPECIALIZATION COMPLETION CHALLENGE As if learning new skills wasn’t enough of an incentive, we're excited to announce a special completion challenge for the 'Infrastructure' specializations. Here’s how it works: Our completion challenge runs through 11:59pm PT May 5, 2019. Complete any course in this Specialization including this one, anytime in this period and we'll send you 30 Qwiklabs credits for each course completed (upto $180 value given there are 6 courses in the Architecting with GCP specialization). You can use these credits to take additional labs and earn badges, which you can then add to your resume and social profiles. Your challenge awaits – begin learning on Coursera today! Note: •Google services are currently unavailable in China.

Getting Started with Google Cloud Platform

GCP customers use projects to organize the resources they use. They use Google Cloud Identity and Access Management, also called “IAM,” to control who can do what with those resources. They use any of several technologies to connect with GCP. This module covers each of these topics, and it introduces a service called Cloud Launcher that is an easy way to get started with GCP.

There are four ways you can interact with Google Cloud Platform,

and we'll talk about each in turn.

The Console, the SDK and Cloud Shell,

the Mobile App and the APIs.

The GCP Console is a web-based administrative interface.

If you build an application in GCP, you'll use it.

Although, the end users of your application won't.

It lets you view and manage all your projects and all the resources they use.

It also lets you enable,

disable and explore the APIs of GCP services.

And it gives you access to Cloud Shell.

That's a command-line interface to GCP that's easily accessed from your browser.

From Cloud Shell, you can use the tools provided by

the Google Cloud Software Development kit

SDK without having to first install them somewhere.

What's the Software Development Kit?

We'll talk about that next.

The Google Cloud SDK is a set of tools that you can use to

manage your resources and your applications on GCP.

These include the gcloud tool which provides

the main command line interface for Google Cloud Platform products and services.

There's also gsutil which is for Google Cloud Storage and bq which is for BigQuery.

The easiest way to get to the SDK commands is to

click the Cloud Shell button on a GCP Console.

You get a command line in your web browser on

a virtual machine with all these commands already installed.

You can also install the SDK on your own computers,

your laptop, your on-premise servers of virtual machines and other clouds.

The SDK is also available as a docker image.

Which is a really easy and clean way to work with it.

The services that make up GCP offer

application programming interfaces so that the code you write can control them.

These APIs are what's called RESTful.

In other words they follow the representational state transfer paradigm.

We don't need to go into much detail of what that means here.

Basically, it means that your code can use

Google services in much the same way that web browsers talk to web servers.

The APIs name resources and GCP with URLs.

Your code can pass information to the APIs using JSON

which is a very popular way of passing textual information over the web.

And there's an open system for user log in and access control.

The GCP Console lets you turn on and off APIs.

Many APIs are off by default,

and many are associated with quotas and limits.

These restrictions help protect you from using resources inadvertently.

You can enable only those APIs you need and you can

request increases in quotas when you need more resources.

For example, if you're writing an application that needs to control GCP resources,

you'll need to get your use of the APIs just right.

And to do that, you'll use APIs Explorer.

The GCP Console includes a tool called

the APIs Explorer that helps you learn about the APIs interactively.

It lets you see what APIs are available and in what versions.

These APIs expect parameters and documentation on them is built in.

You can try the APIs interactively even with user authentication.

Suppose you have explored an API and you're ready to build an application that uses it.

Do you have to start coding from scratch?

No. Google provides client libraries that take a lot

of the drudgery out of the task of calling GCP from your code.

There are two kinds of libraries.

The Cloud Client Libraries are Google clouds

latest and recommended libraries for it's APIs.

They adopt the native styles and idioms of each language.

On the other hand, sometimes

a Cloud Client Library doesn't support the newest services and features.

In that case, you can use the Google API Client Library for your desired languages.

These libraries are designed for generality and completeness.

Finally, one more tool that's of interest to everyone not just developers.

There's a mobile App for Android and iOS that lets you

examine and manage the resources you're using at GCP.

It lets you build dashboards so that you can get the information you need at a glance.
