What is Google Cloud (GCP)?

Google Cloud (formerly Google Cloud Platform or GCP) is a cloud service provider (CSP) that offers Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-ervice (SaaS).

GCP is part of Google Cloud, which includes the GCP public cloud infrastructure and Google Workspace, a collection of cloud computing, productivity and collaboration tools, software, and products developed and marketed by Google (including Google Search, Gmail, Google Drive, and YouTube).

Why use GCP

GCP aims to accelerate business transformations by helping developers build apps faster, helping companies make smarter decisions, and helping people connect to each other from any location in the world.

GCP is committed to open source, multi-cloud, and hybrid cloud. It is also attractive to cost-conscious companies with billing-by-the-second capabilities, and to developers with innovations of big data technology (such as MapReduce, Bigtable, and Dremel), advanced machine learning, and its serverless offerings.
