GCP provides infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and serverless computing.
It started with App Engine in 2008, a platform for web applications. It became available to the public in 2011. Since then, Google has added more services to the platform.
Google Cloud Platform is part of Google Cloud.[3] The latter includes public cloud infrastructure, Google Workspace (G Suite), enterprise versions of Android and ChromeOS, and APIs for machine learning and mapping services.
Google Cloud Platform started in April 2008 with the preview of Google App Engine.[4] In May 2010, Google Cloud Storage was launched, followed by the preview of Google BigQuery.[5]
Google Cloud Platform offers over 100 products and services.
There are Compute services including App Engine for deploying applications, Compute Engine for running virtual machines,[6] and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) for container orchestration using Kubernetes.[7]
GCP also offers services in storage and databases, networking and big data.
GCP customers announced in 2023 include: Kingfisher,[8] The Government of Kuwait,[9] Deutsche Börse Group,[10] FanCode,[11] and Mercedes-Benz.[12]
