Google Cloud networking services or technologies
| Category | Products | Features |
|---|---|---|
Connect |
Hybrid Connectivity
From high-performance options such as Dedicated
Interconnect and Partner Interconnect, to Cloud VPN
for lower volume needs, and even direct and carrier
peering options, Google Cloud Hybrid Connectivity has
a solution for connecting your infrastructure to the
cloud that fits your needs. |
|
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
Provision, connect, or isolate Google Cloud resources
using the Google global network. Define fine-grained
networking policies with Google Cloud, on-premises, or
public cloud infrastructure. VPC network includes
granular IP address range selection, routes, firewall,
Cloud VPN (Virtual Private Network), and Cloud Router.
|
|
|
Cloud DNS
A scalable, reliable, programmable, and managed
authoritative domain naming system (DNS) service
running on the same infrastructure as Google. Cloud
DNS translates domain names like www.google.com into
IP addresses like 74.125.29.101. Use our simple
interface, a command line, or API to publish and
manage millions of DNS zones and records. |
|
|
Network Connectivity Center
Network Connectivity Center offers the unique ability
to easily connect your on-premises, Google Cloud, and
other cloud enterprise networks and manage them as
spokes through a single, centralized, logical hub on
Google Cloud. |
|
|
Private Service Connect
Set up private connectivity to your own, third-party
and Google services from your VPC. Private
Service Connect helps you consume services faster,
simplify network management and secure your data by
keeping it inside the Google Cloud network. |
|
|
Service Directory
Provides a single place to publish, discover, and
connect all applications services, reducing management
and operations complexity. Enhance inventory
management at scale with this managed solution and get
real-time service information—whether you have a few
endpoints or thousands. |
|
|
Scale |
Cloud Load Balancing
Quickly scale applications on Compute Engine—no
pre-warming needed. Distribute load-balanced compute
resources in single or multiple regions, and near
users, while meeting high-availability requirements.
Cloud Load Balancing can put resources behind a single
anycast IP, scale up or down with intelligent
autoscaling, and integrate with Cloud CDN. |
|
Cloud CDN
Accelerate content delivery for websites and
applications served out of Compute Engine by
leveraging Google's globally distributed edge caches.
Cloud CDN lowers network latency, offloads origins,
and reduces serving costs. Once you’ve set up HTTP(S)
load balancing, simply enable Cloud CDN with a single
checkbox. |
|
|
Media CDN
Efficiently and intelligently deliver streaming
experiences to viewers anywhere in the world with
Media CDN. Media CDN is running on infrastructure in
over 200 counties and 1,300 cities that get content
closer to the user with low rebuffer times and high
offload rates. |
|
|
Secure |
Cloud Armor
Cloud Armor works with an HTTP(S) load balancer to
provide built-in defenses against infrastructure DDoS
attacks. Google Cloud Armor benefits from more than a
decade of experience protecting the world's largest
internet properties like Google Search, Gmail, and
YouTube. |
|
Cloud IDS
Cloud IDS is an intrusion detection service that
provides threat detection for intrusions, malware,
spyware, and command-and-control attacks on your
network. It provides full visibility into network
traffic, including both north-south and east-west
traffic, letting you monitor VM-to-VM communication to
detect lateral movement. |
|
|
Cloud NAT
Google Cloud's managed network address translation
service enables you to provision application instances
without public IP addresses, while allowing
controlled, efficient internet access. Outside
resources cannot directly access any of the private
instances behind the Cloud NAT gateway, helping keep
your Google Cloud VPCs isolated and secure. |
|
|
VPC Service Controls
Allows users to define a security perimeter for
API-based services (like Cloud Storage buckets, Cloud
Bigtable instances, and BigQuery datasets) to help
mitigate data exfiltration risks. It enables
enterprises to keep their sensitive data private while
leveraging Google Cloud’s fully managed storage and
data processing capabilities. |
|
|
Optimize |
Network Intelligence Center
Network Intelligence Center provides comprehensive
network status and monitoring of your network along
with proactive network verification. Centralized
monitoring cuts down troubleshooting time and effort,
increases network security, and allows for
optimization of the overall user experience. |
|
Network Service Tiers
Improve network experience performance and gain
control over network costs with Network Service Tiers.
Deliver your traffic on Google's high-performance
global network, run cost-sensitive workloads, choose
the right tier for the workload, and more. |
