Up and Running with Google Cloud Platform (2013) with Joseph Lowery

I'm always interested in what Google is doing. While this video is 2 years old and ancient in the digital world, I still wanted to gauge how well I kept up on Google for the past few years and what I was using that was successful for me, but also what I wasn't using and probably should have.

Overview

Google Cloud Platform makes the robust infrastructure of Google—including its high-speed network, servers, and software—available on an enterprise level but accessible to the everyday web developer. In this course, author Joseph Lowery introduces each of the service's five products: App Engine, Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, and Cloud SQL. Learn the basics of hosting a mobile app with App Engine and see how to analyze massive datasets in seconds with BigQuery. Then explore the benefits of Cloud Storage, including unlimited file storage and fast data retrieval, and learn how to establish a cloud-based private network with Compute Engine. Finally, the course walks through setting up and managing a cloud-based relational database with Cloud SQL.
