Deployment Manager (GCP Marketplace)

` Deployment Manager is a Google Cloud service that uses templates written in a combination of YAML, python, and Jinja2 to automate the allocation of Google Cloud resources and perform setup tasks. Behind the scenes a virtual machine has been created. A startup script was used to install and configure software, and network Firewall Rules were created to allow traffic to the service. `

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

  • How to calculate IP range? 0.0.0.0/31 (32) 0.0.0.0/23 (24) 0.0.0.0/15 (16) 0.0.0.0/7 (8)
  • Internal DNS resolver: 169.254.169.254
  • DHCP: domain/ip mapping lookup
  • Cloud DNS - Public domain and External IP

Compute Engine - Virtual Machines

A.2. Knowledge notes

  • external IP is just mapping to internal IP, so VM doesn’t know its public IP. ephemeral public IP, or reserved static public IP.
  • internal IP access GCP API, by enabling Private Google Access on the subnet configure;
  • SSH firewall rule IP range : 35.235.240.0/20 see Using IAP for TCP forwarding.
  • Role IAP Secured Tunnel User is default to VM instance owner, and can assign to other users through IAM.

  • Cloud NAT is only outbound gateway:

    The Cloud NAT gateway implements outbound NAT, but not inbound NAT. In other words, hosts outside of your VPC network can only respond to connections initiated by your instances; they cannot initiate their own, new connections to your instances via NAT.

  • Preemptible
  • Sole-tenant host
  • Boot disk, Disable delete when vm is deleted, so that keep disk data for next reboot
  • Persistent disk,
  • Local SSD disks, are physically attached to VMs
  • RAM disk tmpfs, faster than disk, slower than memory.
  • 16 disks for shared core, 128 disks can be attached for others.

B.2. Introduction to SQL, for BigQuery and Cloud SQL

Keywords:

  • SELECT,
  • FROM,
  • WHERE,
  • GROUP BY, Your results are a list of unique (non-duplicate) column values.
  • COUNT,
  • AS,
  • ORDER BY
  • UNION, This keyword combines the output of two or more SELECT queries into a result-set.

BigQuery

BigQuery is a fully-managed petabyte-scale data warehouse that runs on the Google Cloud.

Data analysts and data scientists can quickly query and filter large datasets, aggregate results, and perform complex operations without having to worry about setting up and managing servers.

It comes in the form of a command line tool (pre installed in cloudshell) or a web console—both ready for managing and querying data housed in Google Cloud projects.

BigQuery -> projects -> datasets -> tables

Cloud SQL

Cloud SQL is a fully-managed database service that makes it easy to set up, maintain, manage, and administer your relational PostgreSQL and MySQL databases in the cloud.

There are two formats of data accepted by Cloud SQL: dump files (.sql) or CSV files (.csv).

You will learn how to export subsets of the cycle_hire table into CSV files and upload them to Cloud Storage as an intermediate location.
