Before you create Google Cloud resources, consider geographic location,
organizing structure, and maintenance options. When you consider these options
early, you help ensure that your choices properly align with your business needs.
To create plans for your resources, see the following:
Consider geographic distribution:
Google Cloud infrastructure services are located across the world, and are
divided into regions and zones. The locations you choose affect the latency,
availability, and durability of your resources.
Create an ownership hierarchy: The
resource hierarchy helps you organize resources into folders and projects. The
structure you create helps you control access and separate work streams.
Consider resource maintenance:
Some resources have maintenance policies that can help you plan for outages
and required updates. Consider maintenance behaviors early to keep your
applications running smoothly.
