Google Cloud Resources - Websites

Nitric Websites are deployed to Google Cloud using Cloud Storage, Cloud CDN, Cloud DNS, Cloud Load Balancing and Certificate Manager.

Google Cloud Resources

The following resources are created when deploying Websites to Google Cloud:

  • Storage Bucket
  • Cloud CDN Backends
  • Load Balancer Target Https Proxy
  • DNS Zone Entries
  • A Certificate Manager Certificate

Deployment

During deployment the Nitric CLI creates a storage bucket for each website, uploading each static asset as an object. Then configures a target https proxy, certificate, and CDN as described to serve those assets:

  • A Cloud Storage Bucket, per website
  • Cloud CDN to cache and serve static files
  • A Cloud Load Balancer to route traffic to buckets and APIs, including URL rewrites
  • Cloud DNS to configure a domain name for the Load Balancer
  • Certificate Manager to issue a certificate for the Load Balancer, enabling HTTPS
