Google Cloud Authentication for Developers
Channel: Devopedia
Date: 2021-09-30

Google Cloud does authentication in many ways. In this introduction, we'll look at API keys, OAuth 2.0 and Service Accounts. We'll understand where each one fits. What's interesting is that at Devopedia we use all of these depending on the use case. We'll share these use cases.

Although the talk is about Google Cloud, the concepts are more or less similar in other platforms. Therefore, developers not working on Google Cloud can also benefit from the talk.

Much of the talk will be based on GCP documentation at https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication, which can be heavy reading. This talk will attempt to simplify the concepts and speed up your learning.
