Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is growing all the time and we love introducing new products and features and getting them into your hands. This rapid pace of innovation does mean that there is always something new to learn about and this can take up a lot of your time. We also know that GCP isn’t the only cloud platform you’re using or have used, and it’s important that we help you leverage that experience to get up to speed fast.

Our goal is to make it easier for you to stay on top of the services we offer and help you map your existing expertise to GCP at the same time. To that end, we are happy to release a new whitepaper that we have created to help you apply your existing knowledge and expertise to GCP.

This document is the first part of an on-going series. We start with the basics on how to complete base level operations, followed by a deep dive into the virtual compute platforms and the underlying networks. In the coming months we’ll add more information on how to work with storage, data, containers, and much more.

We hope you find this useful in learning about GCP. Please tell us what you think and what else you would like us to add. And don't forget to use our free trial to try out the things you've learned!
