What is Google Cloud Platform?

Getting things done using someone else’s computers, especially

where someone else worries about maintenance, provisioning, system
administration, security, networking, failure recover, etc.
What is Google Cloud Platform?

Google Cloud Platform lets you build and host

applications and websites, store data, and analyze
data, all on Google’s highly scalable and reliable
computing infrastructure.

○ Students will barely use it (average utilization: <25%)
○ KEY: not giving Google your personal credit card
● Research Grants
○ Larger amounts: consider it as seed funding
○ Over a longer period of time
● Apply at cloud.google.com/edu
○ Turnaround time: “within a few business days”
○ Redeem at console.cloud.google.com/edu
Learning Resources
● Official Google Cloud documentation (i/e cloud.google.com/appengine/docs)
○ Recommended: Quickstart tutorials

○ https://codelabs.developers.google.com/cloud/
Qwiklabs
● Qwiklabs codelabs: don't need a Gmail account; typically not free
○ google.qwiklabs.com
● Codelabs == self-paced, hands-on tutorials
● "Quests" == group of codelabs arranged in a "learning path"
● No Google account ( provisioned on-the-fly)
● Apply for QwikLabs coupons at cloud.google.com/edu
○ Individual grant 200 tokens … OR
○ Request 5000 tokens for use in courses
Activating Your Google Cloud Credits
● Make sure you have one of our flyers with $50 Google
Cloud Credits
● Visit console.cloud.google.com/edu
● Make sure you are logged in with a Google account of your
choice
● Enter the 16 digit coupon code from the flyer
The Google Cloud Console
● console.cloud.google.com
● Web portal where you can manage your Cloud resources
● Do things like set up databases, SSH into virtual machines,
and manage Billing
Google Cloud Projects
● All your resources reside inside a project
● Create a Google Cloud “project” for each “project” you’re
working on in real life
● Way to stay organized
● Can share projects with teammates for collaboration
Activity: Share Your Project with a
Friend
● See your students’ work or collaborate with teammates
● We will use IAM (Identity and Access Management)
● Many roles, but “Project Owner” and “Project Editor” are
most useful
Compute Engine

● Access to virtual machines

● Running in Google’s innovative data
centers and worldwide fiber network
● Predefined and Custom machine types
● Persistent Disks
● Per-second billing

Quickstart Tutorial
From a Recent Blog Post:

Do you want to build applications on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) but

have no idea where to start? That was me, just a few months ago,
before I joined the Google Cloud compute team.
...
And since there is no better way to learn than by doing, I also decided
to build a “Hello, World” web application on each of GCP’s compute
offerings—Google Compute Engine (VMs), Google Kubernetes Engine
(containers), Google App Engine (PaaS), and Google Cloud Functions
(FaaS).
Time to “Hello World” on Compute Platforms
The Problem

● You want to write code

● You want it to run on the web
● You DON’T want to worry about handling virtual machines, scaling
your app, or paying for unused resources
The Solution: Serverless Computing

● You write code and it runs in the Cloud - a Cloud provider manages
computing infrastructure to let you focus on your code
● Misnomer: yes, there is a server
● But you don’t need to worry as much about it
● Google Cloud Serverless Products:
○ App Engine
○ Cloud Functions
Cloud Functions

● Event-driven serverless computing

● Write code at the individual function level
● Simplest way to run code in the Cloud
● Pay only when code is run
● Triggered by HTTP or other Cloud products
Cloud Functions

Quickstart Tutorial
App Engine

● Deploy web apps and mobile backends to

the Cloud
● “Platform as a service” product
● Managed application platform that lets you
focus on your code
● Autoscaling, load balancing, traffic splitting
for A/B testing, error reporting, and more!

Muffin?
“The brown quick fox jumps over the lazy dog.”
Syntax rules for adjective order in English:
● Quantity or number

● Quality or opinion

● Size

● Age

● Shape

● Colour

● Proper adjective (often nationality, place of origin, or material)

● Purpose or qualifier
Machine learning is learning
from rules plus experience.
What is Machine Learning?

● “Machine Learning is the study of computer algorithms that

improve automatically through experience.” ~IEEE
● “Machine Learning is using data to answer questions.” ~Yufeng
Guo, Developer Advocate at Google
● Data -> Model -> Prediction
Google Photos
Google Translate
Google Cloud Machine Learning APIs

● Gain insights from data using

Google Cloud’s pre-trained machine
learning models
● Leverage same technology as Google
Photos and Google Assistant
● Require ZERO prior knowledge of ML

Intelligence Language
Video Case Study: Nagish
● Student team at hackathon created a system to help
people who are deaf or hard of hearing make phone calls
● Used Speech-to-Text, Text-to-Speech, App Engine, and
Firebase Realtime Database
● YouTube Video Link
Natural Language

Google Cloud SQL

● Managed version of classic relational

databases - MySQL and PostgreSQL
● Data stored in table format - every database
row follows a predefined “schema” of which
fields to include

Google Cloud Storage

● Store file objects in the Cloud

● Designed for unstructured data (i/e images,
text files, audio files, video files)
● Accessible through Google Cloud Console,
gsutil command line tool, and
programmatically with client libraries
Cloud Storage

Cloud Firestore

● Powerful NoSQL realtime database

● Ordinary database - query database
for new updates
● Realtime database - automatically
receive updates when the database is
updated
○ Set up a listener object on the client
