What they do

● Servers host software/applications

● Servers can host “Instances” in the
cloud because they are designed to
be disposable.

How is compute measured?

● Instances are “Virtual Machines”

● VPC is a cloud computing service in which a public cloud provider isolates a specific portion of
their public cloud infrastructure to be provisioned for private use.

● With Virtual Private Cloud, customers can connect their Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
resources in a VPC, and isolate them from each other for purposes of security, compliance,
and development vs. test vs. production."

● Customers can also define fine-grained networking policies to govern how GCP communicates
with their on-premises software or other public cloud.

Relational database management systems (RDBMSs, or just relational
databases or RDBs) are used extensively. You’ll encounter these most often.
● Relational databases are sometimes called SQL databases because they
usually make full use of the SQL language syntax for querying.
● Common relational databases include: Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, and MySQL.
● They’re very good when:
○ You have a well-structured data model that’s easily expressed in a
schema (video).
○ You don’t have a huge amount of data — a few terabytes at most.
○ You have skilled database administrators (DBAs) on staff to manage and
optimize the database. Refactoring a relational database can be tricky.
● They’re organized based on the relational model of data.
Google Cloud Platform Confidential & Proprietary 85
RDBMSs are organized
based on the relational
model of data
This diagram is a simple relational data model.
Each box represents a table —
like a spreadsheet — with the
column headings listed.
One record is stored
in each row.
They are all linked
by the key value Id.

Relational database
transactions
A transaction is generally any change in your database carried out by a sequence of
operations performed as a single unit of work. Charging your credit card is a common
example of a database transaction with many individual steps that combine to make it a
single unit of work.

Relational database transaction properties:

○ Atomicity—Are all-or-nothing. Each transaction performed in a database must
complete entirely or have no effect whatsoever.
○ Consistency—Ensure that results conform to rules defined by the database.
○ Isolation—Are isolated from other transactions, for example, so that 2 applications
don’t try to change the same customer order at the same time.
○ Durability—Ensure that results persist even if the database crashes immediately after
the transaction.

Database practitioners often refer to atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability as

Google Cloud Platform Confidential & Proprietary 87
Relational databases and SQL
Structured Query Language (SQL) is a
programming language for managing data held in
a relational database.
SQL is a very common language, with only minor
variations depending on the relational database
you’re using.
The basic functions of SQL are:
1) CRUD: create, read (or query), update,
and delete records in the database.
2) To define the data model (discussed
earlier).

Google Cloud Platform Confidential & Proprietary 88

Relational database normalization
Database normalization is the process of organizing the tables and
relations to minimize data redundancy.
For example:
● Rather than storing the customer address with each customer
order, a DBA could create a table for the customer addresses and
a table for the orders.
● The address is related to the customer order by a key.
● In this way, the customer address is only stored once.

Google Cloud Platform Confidential & Proprietary 89

Relational database keys
Primary keys
● A primary key is a special column in your table that uniquely identifies all the
records in a table. Each row has its own unique key, which is usually a
number like 1, 2, 3, and so on. Recall the graphic where we talked about the
value of Id in the Contact Person table. That’s the primary key.
● A primary key is a special kind of index because:
○ There can be only one per record.
○ It can’t be null (empty or non-existent).
○ It must be unique.
● A primary key is the most common kind of kind of key, but there are several
other kinds of keys that are useful in relational databases.

Google Cloud Platform Confidential & Proprietary 90

Why don’t relational databases work in all
cases?
3 main reasons:
1. Relational databases don’t scale well.
○ The more data you have, the more time it takes to find information.
○ Relational databases usually get very slow long before they get bigger than
about a terabyte in size. Note: Google Cloud SQL and other solutions that
rely on heavy-duty hardware and tuning are pushing this limit.
2. It’s difficult to define the perfect data model at the beginning of your project.
This is unfortunate for relational databases because the interdependencies in
the data sometimes force DBA to rebuild an entire database to make a small
change (refactoring).
3. If you data model is prone to change, this can slow down the software-
development process.

Google Cloud Platform Confidential & Proprietary 91

Not only SQL (NoSQL)
databases
The NoSQL data model addresses several issues
that the relational model isn’t great at, including:
● Fast queries in massive databases (terabytes)
over rapidly changing data.
● Fast software development and frequent code
updates.
● On-the-fly schema development and iteration.
● Object-oriented programming that’s flexible
and easy to use.
● Handling of semi-structured and unstructured
data.
Read this excellent introductory article on NoSQL
databases and how they compare to relational
databases. See also Wikipedia. Google Cloud Platform Confidential & Proprietary 92
What are NoSQL
databases?
NoSQL databases are mostly:
● Used with object-oriented programming
in real-time web applications.
● Very large databases.
● Used big data applications.
● Flexible in how they store data. They
don’t need a predefined schema and
can even create the schema on the fly
to fit the data.
● Based on open source.
● Have many varied
characteristics...whereas the available
relational databases are all similar.
Google Cloud Platform Confidential & Proprietary 93
NoSQL databases
NoSQL databases generally DON’T use or rely on the following (although
there are exceptions):
● SQL.
● Tables as the basic structure.
● Explicit relationships between data objects.
● ACID transactions—One or more of the properties may be
compromised for a trade-off in, for example, performance or scale.
● Predefined schemas.
