Launched in 2008, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) (formerly known as Google App Engine) is an open-source cloud computing platform which provides public cloud infrastructure for hosting web-based applications. With a suite of cloud computing services, GCP offers Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions on a pay-per-use basis.

Application Example(s)

Google has more than 200 dedicated data centers spread across the globe, with many leading organizations (including PayPal, Sky and UPS) making use of Google’s cloud infrastructure. Cloudways has partnered with GCP (among other leading IaaS providers) to allow users to host their websites or apps on Google’s cloud servers.

Why it’s Important

Google Cloud Platform is currently the third most utilized cloud service, with around a 10% share of the global cloud infrastructure market. GCP offers roughly the same data storage capacity and virtual machine functionality as most other cloud providers (including AWS and Azure), but GCP’s strength lies in its data processing tools as well as its AI and machine learning capabilities.

Expert Level Info

As a Platform as a Service (PaaS) tool, Google App Engine was introduced in April 2008 to enable developers to create and host apps on Google’s infrastructure. In September 2011, App Engine was released from preview, and the name Google Cloud Platform was adopted in 2013. Google has now made a number of supplementary tools available, including its data storage layer and its Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) component known as the Google Compute Engine, which facilitates the use of virtual machines. Google has expanded its IaaS offering to include load balancers, DNS, monitoring tools and data analysis services.
