Back by popular demand: Google Cloud products in 4 words or less (2021 edition)

 

Priyanka VergadiaDeveloper Advocate, GoogleGreg WilsonDirector, Developer AdvocacyPublished Mar 2, 2021

Google Cloud offers lots of products to support a wide variety of use cases. But how do you even know where to start?! Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! We have created a set of resources that makes it easy to familiarize yourself with the Google Cloud ecosystem. You can use these resources to quickly get up to speed on different products and choose those that you’re most interested in for a deeper dive into documentation and other available resources. 

Google Cloud products in 4 words or less

The 4 words or less Google Cloud developer’s cheat sheet is a project that describes each Google Cloud product in 4 words or less. If you are just getting started, this resource gives you a quick overview of all that is available to you on Google Cloud. And if you’re more experienced, it can be a great way to identify new products that you might want to learn more about. 

When you see a product that piques your interest, learn more about it on the GitHub page by checking out the product page or documentation.  The cheat sheet is available to download as a pdf (in your choice of dark or light themes!). Print it and post it, or even make it your desktop wallpaper for easy reference.
