These days, google is not just a search engine, instead it has launched many services by leading an innovation. Google Cloud Platform is one of them. If you are thinking of starting your business on the cloud or looking to migrate from your current cloud deployment strategy, Google Cloud Platform has many benefits for your business. Exploiting any cloud transition means selecting the services having rich functionality, are even secure, affordable, and easy-to-use also. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) fulfills these requirements. Within small and medium businesses, Google cloud is gaining popularity while migrating to the cloud because of the security at reasonable cost. 

**What Is Google Cloud Platform?**
Google’s cloud platform provides reliable and highly scalable cloud computing services to its users. Clients use these services to compute and store data and also to help developers to build, test, and deploy applications. With the use of the internet, google cloud covers application, storage, and cloud computing services for backend, mobile, and web solutions. Google uses a simple file system and always tries to keep the simple backend. And this system is the base of Google cloud platform. It handles requests for information through basic commands like write, read, and open. It is a distributed system of computing. Just now, google has acquired Cornerstone Technology to help customers in migrating their mainframe workloads to Google Cloud. Many small and large companies are adopting Google Cloud to make them more secure with reasonable costs.

**What Google Cloud Platform Does And Why?**
Google Cloud Platform provides computing resources for applications to deploy and operate on the web. The main reason for the popularity of Google Cloud Platform is- it provides a place for enterprises and individuals to build and run software applications, and also it makes use of the web to connect to the users of that software. When you run a website or application on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Google manages all of the resources it uses- specifically, the required power, data storage, database queries and network connectivity. Instead of leasing a server or a DNS address by monthly basis, you pay for these resources on a per-second basis with discounts that apply when your services are used heavily by customers on the web.

*Google Cloud Implementation-*
Multiple people can edit a document at the same time with the help of Google cloud application programming interface (API) that can be used for MS Office. You have to install a plugin for the MS Office program suite if you have to save the files to the cloud. Then everyone can use and edit the cloud copy of the data. Google cloud assigns a unique URL to each file. Before downloading and starting editing the file in MS Office, the owner or creator must assign someone as an editor.

If someone makes changes to the document, these changes can be visible on all the documents shared. Google cloud adds metadata into a file when uploaded to the service. It helps to identify the file and track changes over all copies. As the documents get synchronized to the master file, Google cloud updates all downloaded documents using metadata to maintain the right records.
