Google Cloud ( GCP) Network Services.

Google Cloud Platform offers a wide range of network services to support various cloud networking scenarios. Here are some of the main network services provided by Google Cloud Platform:

  1. Virtual Private Cloud (VPC): VPC is a logically isolated virtual network that enables you to securely connect to Google Cloud Platform resources. VPCs can be customized by specifying subnets, IP ranges, and firewall rules.

  2. Cloud Load Balancing: Cloud Load Balancing distributes incoming traffic across multiple instances or backend services, helping to ensure high availability and scalability. Google Cloud Platform offers three types of load balancers: HTTP(S) load balancing, SSL proxy load balancing, and TCP/UDP load balancing.

  3. Cloud DNS: Cloud DNS is a scalable, reliable, and managed DNS service for your domain names. You can use Cloud DNS to host your domain names and map them to IP addresses, load balancers, or other resources.

  4. Cloud CDN: Cloud CDN is a global content delivery network that caches content at edge locations close to end users, reducing latency and improving performance. Cloud CDN integrates with Google Cloud Storage and Google Compute Engine.

  5. Cloud VPN: Cloud VPN provides a secure and encrypted connection between your on-premises network and your Google Cloud Platform VPC. Cloud VPN supports IPSec VPN and provides high availability and automatic failover.

  6. Cloud Interconnect: Cloud Interconnect provides dedicated, high-speed connections between your on-premises network and Google Cloud Platform. You can use Cloud Interconnect to establish a private connection or a VPN connection to Google Cloud Platform.

  7. Network Service Tiers: Network Service Tiers provides a choice of premium or standard network tiers for your Google Cloud Platform resources. Premium tier provides a lower-latency, higher-bandwidth network connectivity option.

  8. Cloud Armor: Cloud Armor provides a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) and application defense service for your Google Cloud Platform resources. Cloud Armor uses Google's global network infrastructure to mitigate attacks.

  9. Private Google Access: Private Google Access enables you to access Google Cloud Platform services, such as Google Cloud Storage and BigQuery, from within your VPC without using a public IP address.

These are some of the main network services provided by Google Cloud Platform. Each service provides a range of features and configuration options that can be customized to meet your specific networking requirements
