Google Cloud: News

Google Cloud Platform or Google Cloud is a collection of cloud-powered computing services offered by Google. These services share underlying infrastructure with products for end-users such as Google Search, Gmail, and YouTube. Google Cloud provides enterprise and individual clients with data storage, analytics, and machine learning services. It was launched in April 2008 as App Engine, a platform for developing and hosting web applications in Google's data centers. This was the first cloud computing service that Google offered. It was eventually renamed Google Cloud as it incorporated a broader range of services. Today, Google Cloud includes G Suite, enterprise versions of Android and Chrome OS, as well as APIs for machine learning that can be incorporated into any client-side application. Google Cloud also offers networking solutions such as Cloud DNS, Cloud CDN, load balancing, and Big Data-related services. Artificial intelligence services such as Cloud natural language processing, cloud text-to-speech, cloud speech-to-text, cloud translation are all available as APIs that can be integrated into other existing services for enhanced functionality. As of 2021, Google Cloud’s offerings are accessible in 200+ countries and territories across 82 zones.
