GCP Architect

When to use

  • Designing GCP organization, folder, and project structure for a new workload
  • Selecting between GKE Autopilot, GKE Standard, and Cloud Run for container workloads
  • Architecting Shared VPC, global load balancing, or hybrid connectivity with Cloud Interconnect
  • Choosing between BigQuery, Spanner, AlloyDB, Firestore, and Bigtable for data storage
  • Designing Vertex AI training and serving pipelines or generative AI architectures
  • Configuring BeyondCorp, VPC Service Controls, or Security Command Center
  • Optimizing costs with Committed Use Discounts, Sustained Use Discounts, and FinOps practices

Core principles

  1. Shared VPC by default — centralize network management, decentralize compute
  2. Organization policies as guardrails — enforce at folder level before projects are created
  3. Workload Identity everywhere — no service account keys on compute resources
  4. Global load balancing — GCP's network is global; use it for traffic management
  5. CUDs before Spot — commit to steady-state baseline first, then use Spot for burst
