Google Cloud - The future of cloud computing
The Google Cloud is a cloud computing platform developed by Google. It is one of the leading cloud platforms on the market and is used by companies of all sizes and in all industries. Google itself uses the cloud infrastructure to scale its most popular products such as YouTube, Google Search or Google Analytics easily, securely and reliably.
What features does the Google Cloud offer?
The Google Cloud offers a wide range of services and features to help businesses and organizations run their digital products around the world. Some of the most important services include:
Pay as you go
The "pay as you go" model of the Google Cloud is a flexible billing model in which users only pay for the resources they actually use. Billing is on an hourly basis, with all users having control over all their costs at all times.
Unlike other models, there is no need to reserve or pay for a certain number of resources in advance, but only for the resources that are actually used. This also allows resources to be scaled up or down at any time to respond to changing requirements.
Advantages and disadvantages of the Google Cloud
The Google Cloud offers a wide range of cloud-based services and solutions to help customers manage and run their applications and workloads in the cloud. However, there are advantages and disadvantages that customers should consider when making a decision.
However, it is important to note that this dependency can vary depending on the service used and the architecture of the application.
Alternatives to the Google Cloud
Although the Google Cloud is undoubtedly a powerful product and gives Google a strong position in the highly competitive cloud market, there are numerous alternative cloud platforms that also offer a wide range of features and options.
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
A subsidiary of online retailer Amazon, AWS is the market leader in cloud infrastructure.

FAQ
With IaaS, companies can deploy and manage servers, storage, networks and other IT resources in the cloud to run their applications. In doing so, they have the flexibility to scale resources as needed and pay only for what they actually use.
With PaaS, developers can delegate the complexity of infrastructure, such as servers, networks and databases, to the service and focus on developing and deploying their applications. This allows them to save time and resources and focus on their core competencies, which can lead to higher productivity and efficiency.
While IaaS gives companies control over the underlying infrastructure, which also means that the full responsibility for its management and maintenance must be assumed by the company, PaaS offers a higher level of abstraction and allows applications to be developed and deployed without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure.
While App Engine provides a higher level of abstraction that allows developers to build applications without knowing the underlying infrastructure, Cloud Run provides more flexibility by allowing developers to package their applications in containers and run them on different cloud platforms.
Cloud Run offers a higher level of abstraction than GKE, as developers do not have to worry about the underlying infrastructure and can focus on container development and deployment. GKE, on the other hand, offers more flexibility and control as developers can manage their own cluster infrastructure and configuration.
