GCP ADMIN

A Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Administrator is responsible for managing, configuring, and maintaining an organization’s infrastructure and services hosted on Google Cloud. Their role is critical in ensuring that cloud-based systems run efficiently, securely, and in a cost-effective manner. Here’s an overview of their primary responsibilities:

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Cloud Infrastructure Management:
    • Design, deploy, and manage cloud resources like virtual machines, storage, and networking in GCP.
    • Manage resource allocation to ensure optimal performance and cost efficiency.
  2. Security and Compliance:
    • Configure and enforce cloud security policies (IAM roles, firewall rules, etc.).
    • Manage encryption, key management, and access controls.
  3. Monitoring and Optimization:
    • Monitor the health, performance, and security of GCP environments using tools like Stackdriver.
    • Troubleshoot and resolve any cloud infrastructure-related issues.
    • Optimize resources for cost savings through monitoring and rightsizing.
  4. Backup, Disaster Recovery, and Failover:
    • Implement backup strategies for critical data and applications
    • Set up multi-region failover and redundancy mechanisms for high availability.
  5. Automation and Scripting:
    • Use infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools like Terraform or Google Deployment Manager to automate cloud deployments.
    • Write and maintain scripts (often in Python or Bash) for automated tasks like scaling or scheduled backups.
  6. Networking and Connectivity:
    • Configure Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks, subnets, and peering.
    • Set up load balancers, VPN connections, and hybrid cloud connection.
  7. Collaboration and Support:
    • Work closely with development, DevOps, and IT teams to support cloud deployments.
    • Provide guidance and technical support for developers and stakeholders.
  8. Service and Resource Management:
    • Manage GCP services such as BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Cloud Functions, and App Engine.
    • Handle billing and cost analysis to manage cloud spend effectively.
