| Google Cloud Platform Console |
The Google Cloud Platform (GCP), the console offered by Google, is a suite of cloud computing services that run on the same infrastructure. Which Google uses internally for its end-user products such as Google Search and YouTube. With a set of management tools, it offers a range of modular cloud services including computing, data storage and machine learning. Registration requires credit card or bank account details.
The Google Cloud Platform Console provides a platform and serverless computing environment as a service.
In April 2008, Google announced App Platform, a platform for developing and hosting web applications in data centers managed by Google. Which was the company's first cloud computing service. The service became generally available in November 2011. Since the announcement of App Engine, Google added several cloud services to the platform.
The Google Cloud Platform console is a part of Google Cloud. Which includes the Google Cloud Platform public cloud infrastructure, as well as the G Suite, enterprise versions of Android and Chrome OS, and application programming interfaces (APIs) for machine learning and enterprise mapping services.
