Autoscaling Auto-scaling group VM Scale Sets Compute Engine Autoscaler
API endpoints API Gateway API Management Cloud Endpoints

 

API endpoints:
Single entryway that allows multiple APIs or microservices to act cohesively.

Autoscaling:
Scales resources (of a group) up or down based on usage and rules.

Availability Zone (AZ):
Distinct locations (within regions) where resources are housed - designed to be isolated from failures in other AZs.

Compute Instances:
Scalable compute instances (servers)

Content Delivery Network (CDN):
Global network that delivers content based on the geographic locations of the user.

Domain Name System (DNS):
Naming database in which internet domain names are located and translated into IP addresses.

Identity and Access Management (IAM):
Manage access to cloud services and resources securely.

Internet Gateway:
VPC component that allows communication between instances in VPCs and the internet.

Load Balancing:
Pushes traffic (in a balanced way) across multiple targets in multiple AZs.

Network Address Translation (NAT):
Enable outbound internet traffic from instances in a private subnet.

Network Peering:
A networking connection between two VPCs that enables the routing traffic between them using private IP addresses.

Network Routes/Routing:
A set of rules that are used to determine where network traffic from subnets and/or gateways are directed.

Object Storage:
Scalable, highly available storage for objects.

Region:
Worldwide locations where resources are hosted.

Security Groups:
Contains a list of security rules that allow or deny network traffic to resources.

Subnet:
Logical subdivision of an IP network. Can be private or public.

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC):
A logically isolated section of the cloud where you can launch resources.

VPC Endpoints:
Privately connects VPC to other cloud and endpoint services.

VPN Gateway:
Private connection to VPCs.
