Agenda

1 - Defining the Service

Describe users in terms of roles and personas
Write qualitative requirements with user stories
Write quantitative requirements using key performance indicators (KPIs)
Evaluate KPIs using SLOs and SLIs
Determine the quality of application requirements using SMART criteria

2 - Microservice Design and Architecture

Decompose monolithic applications into microservices
Recognize appropriate microservice boundaries
Architect stateful and stateless services to optimize scalability and reliability
Implement services using 12-factor best practices
Build loosely coupled services by implementing a well-designed REST architecture
Design consistent, standard RESTful service APIs

3 - DevOps Automation

Automate service deployment using CI/CD pipelines
Leverage Cloud Source Repositories for source and version control
Automate builds with Cloud Build and build triggers
Manage container images with Google Container Registry
Create infrastructure with code using Deployment Manager and Terraform

4 - Choosing Storage Solutions

Choose the appropriate Google Cloud data storage service based on use case, durability, availability, scalability and cost
Store binary data with Cloud Storage
Store relational data using Cloud SQL and Spanner
Store NoSQL data using Firestore and Cloud Bigtable
Cache data for fast access using Memorystore
Build a data warehouse using BigQuery

5 - Google Cloud and Hybrid Network Architecture

Design VPC networks to optimize for cost, security, and performance
Configure global and regional load balancers to provide access to services
Leverage Cloud CDN to provide lower latency and decrease network egress
Evaluate network architecture using the Cloud Network Intelligence Center
Connect networks using peering and VPNs

Leverage App Engine for a completely automated platform as a service (PaaS)
Create serverless applications using Cloud Functions

7 - Designing Reliable Systems

Design services to meet requirements for availability, durability,and scalability
Implement fault-tolerant systems by avoiding single points of failure, correlated failures, and cascading failures
Avoid overload failures with the circuit breaker and truncated exponential backoff design patterns
Design resilient data storage with lazy deletion
Analyze disaster scenarios and plan for disaster recovery using cost/risk analysis

8 - Security

Design secure systems using best practices like separation of concerns, principle of least privilege, and regular audits
Leverage Cloud Security Command Center to help identify vulnerabilities
Simplify cloud governance using organizational policies and folders
Secure people using IAM roles, Identity-Aware Proxy, and Identity Platform
Manage the access and authorization of resources by machines and processes using service accounts
Secure networks with private IPs, firewalls, and Private Google Access
Mitigate DDoS attacks by leveraging Cloud DNS and Cloud Armor

9 - Maintenance and Monitoring

Manage new service versions using rolling updates, blue/green deployments, and canary releases
Forecast, monitor, and optimize service cost using the Google Cloud pricing calculator and billing reports and by analyzing billing data
Observe whether your services are meeting their SLOs using Cloud Monitoring and Dashboards
Use Uptime Checks to determine service availability
Respond to service outages using Cloud Monitoring Alerts
