You’ve built your infrastructure. Your VMs are humming, your containers are orchestrated, and your network is secure. But now you have a small, isolated task. When a user uploads a profile picture, you need to resize it into a thumbnail.…
Your journey as a cloud engineer has progressed. You’ve built robust networks, configured secure identity systems, and deployed applications on virtual machines. But a new problem has emerged. Your lead developer comes to you and says the magic words: “But it…
Your application is a runaway success. You started with a single, powerful Compute Engine VM serving your website, but now it’s struggling to keep up with the flood of user traffic. Worse, if that one VM fails, your entire application…
So far on our cloud journey, we’ve explored the world of compute from two different angles. We’ve seen Compute Engine, which gives you raw virtual machines (Infrastructure-as-a-Service, or IaaS). This is like owning a plot of land where you have total…
We have been using the cloud console to manage the managed instance groups. Let us now learn how to use the command line interface to manage the instance groups. It is important to note that we need to set the…
You can gradually upgrade an instance in an instance group to a new instance template. This type of upgrade is called as Rolling upgrade. Let us say we have 10 instances running and we want to upgrade only 2 instances…
Instance groups are used to manage a group of instances as a single entity. You can manage similar virtual machines having similar life cycles as a single unit. There are 2 types of instance group that you can create namely…
Below are few compute instance commands in gcloud.
The typical Command Structure in Gcloud is “gcloud <group> <subgroup> <action>”. “Group” is usually the service you are working with like, compute, container, config or iam etc… “Subgroup” is the component we are referring to in the group. for example,…
The Command line interface in GCP is called as Gcloud. Most GCP services can be managed from Gcloud. We can create, delete and update virtual machines, you can manage instance groups & databases etc… While there are some more service…
