About this ebook
DESCRIPTION
Modern businesses are awash with data, making data-driven decision-making tasks increasingly complex. As a result, relevant technical expertise and analytical skills are required to do such tasks. This book aims to equip you with enough knowledge of Cloud Computing in conjunction with Google Cloud Data platform to succeed in the role of a Cloud data expert.
The current market is trending towards the latest cloud technologies, which is the need of the hour. Google being the pioneer, is dominating this space with the right set of cloud services being offered as part of GCP (Google Cloud Platform). At this juncture, this book will be very vital and will cover all the services that are being offered by GCP, putting emphasis on Data services.
This book starts with sophisticated knowledge on Cloud Computing. It also explains different types of data services/technology and machine learning algorithm/Pre-Trained API through real-business problems, which are built on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). With some of the latest business examples and hands-on guide, this book will enable the developers entering the data analytics fields to implement an end-to-end data pipeline, using GCP Data services. Through the course of the book, you will come across multiple industry-wise use cases, like Building Datawarehouse using Big Query, a sample real-time data analytics solution on machine learning and Artificial Intelligence that helped with the business decision, by employing a variety of data science approaches on Google Cloud environment. Whether yourÊbusinessÊis at the early stage of cloud implementation in its journey or well on its way to digital transformation,ÊGoogle Cloud'sÊsolutions and technologies will always help chart a path to success. This book can be used to develop the GCP concepts in an easy way. It contains many examples showcasing the implementation of a GCP service. It enables the learning of the basic and advance concepts of Google Cloud Data Platform. This book is divided into 7 chapters and provides a detailed description of the core concepts of each of the Data services offered by Google Cloud.
