Day 4 [Google Professional Cloud Architect]: Cloud IAM & Storage Services

👉 Cloud IAM

✶Google Identity and Access Management is a web service that gives cloud administrators the authority to decide who can take a particular action on a particular resource. In simple words, IAM lets one decide who (Identity) has what role (Access) to which resource.

🚀 IAM Policy

IAM policy is a collection of statements that define who has what type of access. A policy is attached to a resource and is used to enforce access control whenever that resource is accessed.

🚀 Service Accounts

A service account is a special kind of account that is used for applications or VM instances. It is used by these entities to make API calls on their behalf. There is no limit on the number of service accounts that can be created. They are used to carry out server-to-server interactions in a project, without availing the user credentials.

👉 Storage & Database Services

✶Google Cloud Platform (GCP) delivers various storage and database service offerings that remove much of the burden of building and managing storage and infrastructure.

🚀 Google Cloud Storage

Google Cloud Storage is an unstructured blob/bucket storage that is scalable, fully managed, cost-effective, and highly available service. It is a service for storing objects in Google Cloud.

🚀 Cloud Storage Components

Bucket and Objects are the two main components of the Cloud.

An object is an immutable piece of data consisting of a file of any format. These objects are stored in containers called buckets.

All buckets are associated with a project, and you can group your projects under an organization.
