Compute Engine
1. Compute Engine
SPEAKER: First we start with Compute Engine. Compute Engine is the most flexible option for running your applications, but it requires the most operational effort to manage. With Compute Engine, you create high-performance virtual machines and then install and run your applications on them. Compute Engine supports predefined machine types for popular configurations but also lets you create custom machine types to customize CPU and memory for your VMs. Compute Engine lets you create and attach persistent disks and local SSDs. These disks can be accessed like physical disks in a desktop or server. Unlike typical physical disks, Compute Engine disks can be increased in size while they are running. The performance and throughput of persistent disks increase when they increase in size. Compute Engine provides preemptible VMs that are ideal for large compute and batch jobs. If capacity must be reclaimed, Google Cloud can terminate preemptible VMs. For applications that can handle these interruptions, preemptible VMs are available at a discount of at least 60% compared to standard VMs. You can run your choice of operating system on your VMs including Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu, and various other flavors of Linux or Windows. You can also use a shared image from the Google Cloud community or bring your own operating system. Use Compute Engine when you want full control of your infrastructure. Compute Engine enables you to create highly customized VMs for specialized applications that have unique compute or operating system requirements. You can install and patch software that runs on a VM. You can create managed instance groups of VMs based on an instance template and configure global load balancing and auto scaling of the managed instance groups. Compute Engine can perform health checks and replace unhealthy instances in an instance group. Compute Engine can also auto-scale the number of instances based on the traffic volume in specific regions. Compute Engine offers you the most flexibility to configure your resources for the specific type of application that you need to run. You can install and run any third-party licensed software on Compute Engine. You can attach Graphics Processing Units, GPUs, and Tensor Processing Units, TPUs, to Compute Engine VMs to accelerate parallel processing and machine-learning workloads. You can use Compute Engine for applications that require TCP network protocols other than HTTP or HTTPS. Compute Engine is ideal for lift-and-shift migrations. You can move virtual machines from your on-premises data center or another cloud provider to Google Cloud without changing your application.2. Let's practice!
