Module Overview
1. Module Overview
In the last module, we discussed how to automate the creation of infrastructure. As an alternative to infrastructure automation, you can eliminate the need to create infrastructure by leveraging a managed service. Managed services are partial or complete solutions offered as a service. They exist on a continuum between platform-as-a-service and software-as-a-service, depending on how much of the internal methods and controls are exposed. Using a managed service allows you to outsource a lot of the administrative and maintenance overhead to Google if your application requirements fits within the service offering. In this module, we give you an overview of BigQuery, Dataflow, Dataprep by Trifacta, and Dataproc. Now, all of these services are for data analytics purposes, and since that's not the focus on this course series, there won't be any labs in this module. Instead, we'll have a quick demo to illustrate how easy it is to use managed services.2. Let's practice!
