Introduction

Google provides four options for the computing needs of your application. Compute Engine gives us the option to run VMs on Google Cloud Platform's infrastructure. It also provides all the networking and security features needed to run infrastructure as a service (IaaS) workloads. Google App Engine is a platform as a service (PaaS) offering that supports most of the major programming languages. It comes in two flavors, a standard environment based on container instances and a flexible environment based on Compute Engine. Google Kubernetes Engine offers a Kubernetes-powered container platform for all containerized applications. Finally, for all serverless application needs, Google Cloud Functions provides the compute power and integration with other cloud services.
