Google Distributed Cloud (GDC)

Google Cloud portfolio that runs Google infrastructure and services at the edge or in customer data centers, including air-gapped options.

Google Distributed Cloud extends Google Cloud services to on-premises and edge locations. It includes connected configurations for edge sites and an air-gapped option for sovereign or highly classified environments that must run without connection to Google Cloud.

Example

A defense agency runs analytics on Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped in its own secure facility.

Exam tip

GDC is Google's answer to Outposts and Azure Local for hybrid and sovereign scenarios.
