About Google Cloud (GCP)

Google Cloud Platform is Google's suite of cloud computing services running on the same global infrastructure that powers Search, Gmail, and YouTube, offering compute (GKE, Cloud Run), storage, networking, databases, and AI/ML via Vertex AI. Its primary differentiator is a private global fiber-optic network combined with per-second billing and sustained-use discounts, making it cost-competitive for compute-heavy workloads. Practical use cases include scalable container orchestration with GKE, petabyte-scale analytics with BigQuery, and production ML deployments via Vertex AI.
