The solution is fairly easy to deploy. There is no need to manage the underlying infrastructure, where all the details of load balancing deployment and version management are managed by the system itself.
Google Cloud offerings have a number of features which complement each other to provide very solid cloud feature sets. Google Cloud makes available many products and a person can build whatever he desires. A solution can always be found for anything one needs.
