CHAPTER SIXNetworking

Networking is a necessary foundational component of any cloud application and its ability to connect to data stores, other applications, and available cloud resources. Google Cloud's networking is based on the highly scalable Jupiter network fabric and the high-performance, flexible Andromeda virtual network stack, which are the same technologies that power Google's internal infrastructure and services.

Jupiter provides Google with tremendous bandwidth and scale. For example, Jupiter fabrics can deliver more than 1 petabit per second of total bisection bandwidth. To put this in perspective, that is enough capacity for 100,000 servers to exchange information at a rate of 10 Gbps each, or enough to read the entire scanned contents of the Library of Congress in less than 1/10th of a second.

Andromeda is a software-defined networking (SDN) substrate for Google's network virtualization platform, acting as the orchestration point for provisioning, configuring, and managing virtual networks and in-network packet processing. Andromeda lets Google share Jupiter network fabric for Google Cloud services.

This chapter covers the Google Cloud networking infrastructure and the networking services available to you as you connect, scale, secure, modernize, and optimize your applications in Google Cloud.
