  •        Data growth planning     

  2.3 Configuring compute systems. Considerations include:

  •        Compute resource provisioning     

  •        Compute volatility configuration (preemptible vs. standard)     

  •        Network configuration for compute resources (Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine,       serverless networking)     

  •        Infrastructure orchestration, resource configuration, and patch management     

  •        Container orchestration     

3. Designing for security and compliance

•
