Why Google Cloud is so special? Stories from a cloud user

Daniel Cukier @danicuki

Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network

access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks,

servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service

provider interaction. - NIST

“Nuvens… Hoje tenho consciência do céu, pois há dias em que não o olho mas sinto, vivendo na cidade e não na natureza que a inclui. Nuvens… São elas hoje a principal realidade, e preocupam-me como se o velar do céu fosse um dos grandes perigos de meu destino. Nuvens… Passam da barra para o Castelo, de Ocidente para Oriente, num tumulto disperso e despido, branco às vezes, se vão esfarrapadas na vanguarda de não sei o quê; meio-negro outras, se, mais lentas, tardam em ser varridas pelo vento audível; negras de um branco sujo, se, como se quisessem ficar, enegrecem mais da vinda que da sombra o que as ruas abrem de falso espaço entre as linhas fechadoras da casaria” Fernando Pessoa

Cloud File Storage

Transfer data to your Cloud Storage buckets from Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3),

HTTP/HTTPS servers, or other buckets. You can schedule one-time or daily transfers, and you can filter files based on name prefix and

when they were changed.
