Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a cloud computing service by Google that offers hosting on the same supporting infrastructure that Google uses internally for end-user products like Gmail, Google Search, Maps, and YouTube.
Elements
- Google Compute Engine – IaaS service providing virtual machines similar to Amazon EC2.
- Google App Engine – PaaS service for directly hosting applications similar to AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
- BigTable – IaaS service providing map reduce services. Similar to Hadoop.
- BigQuery – IaaS service providing Columnar database. Similar to Amazon Redshift.
- Google Cloud Functions – Currently in alpha testing FaaS service allowing functions to be triggered by events without developer resource management similar to Amazon Lambda or IBM OpenWhisk.

1GCP allows for 802.1q tagging (aka VLAN taggin). AWS does not.
2GCP allows for cross-region load balancing. AWS does not.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Object | Block | Cold | File | |

| GCP | Cloud Storage | Compute Engine Persistent Disks2 | Cloud Storage Nearline | ZFS/Avere |
1An EBS volume can be attached to only one EC2 instance at a time. Can attach up to 40 disk volumes to a Linux instance. Available in only one region by default.
2GCP Persistent Disks in read-only mode can be attached to multiple instances simultaneously. Can attach up to 128 disk volumes. Snapshots are global and can be used in any region without additional operations or charges.
