Title
Google Cloud Platform - An introduction for students

Abstract
The presentation introduces the Google Cloud Platform to students of computer science and other disciplines. The world-wide Google Cloud infrastructure is introduced as well as the various types and classes of cloud services of the Google Cloud. A brief demonstration of creating and using a global Cloud native database gives an impression of the available abstractions of cloud native service implementations. The attendees will get an overview of the Google Cloud platform as an initial orientation for further exploration and use.
