GCP Compute Engine — Easy Notes 1. Compute options in Google Cloud Google Cloud provides different ways to run applications: Compute Engine → Virtual Machines (VMs) Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) → Containers/Kubernetes Cloud Run → Serverless containers Cloud Functions → Event-driven serverless Cloud TPU → Specialized hardware for Machine Learning This section focuses mainly on Compute Engine . 2. What is Compute Engine? Compute Engine = Virtual Machines in Google Cloud. Think of it like: Your own server running inside Google Cloud. You get: VM Operating System CPU/vCPU RAM Disk Networking IP address Firewall configuration You have significant control over how the VM operates.
