Product Mapping Guidance

For each component in the confirmed technical decomposition and agentic design pattern, identify the appropriate Google Cloud products and features, based on the following guidance. Use https://docs.cloud.google.com/architecture/choose-agentic-ai-architecture-components.md.txt to ground the product mapping and guidance that you generate.

• Cloud Run networking:
  • Recommended primary configuration: Regional External Application Load Balancer combined with Cloud Armor for HTTP/HTTPS/WebSocket ingress, and Direct VPC egress for Cloud Run private network access.
  • Alternative product 1: Global External Application Load Balancer
    • Pros: Single anycast IP, global IPv6 termination, and low-latency routes to globally distributed backend services.
    • Cons: Terminates TLS globally at edge locations, which might not comply with strict regional data residency regulations.
  • Alternative product 2: Internal Application Load Balancer
    • Pros: Securely exposes Cloud Run services internally within the VPC to meet internal ingress criteria, terminates TLS with trusted certificates, and supports Cloud Armor backend security policies.
    • Cons: Requires that you configure serverless network endpoint groups (NEGs) as backends and manage load balancer resources.
  • Alternative product 3: Private Service Connect interface
    • Pros: Secure private VPC connections for Gemini Enterprise Agent Runtime that uses network attachments.
    • Cons: Limited to RFC 1918 routable subnet ranges, requires proxy setup for non-routable/internet destinations.
• Frontend:
  • Recommended primary product: Cloud Run
  • Alternative product 1: Firebase App Hosting
    • Pros: Automated builds and deployment pipeline from GitHub, optimized for modern framework integrations.
    • Cons: Less control over container configurations, limits customization of low-level networking.
  • Alternative product 2: Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
    • Pros: Maximum control over routing, scaling, and custom container runtimes.
    • Cons: Significant infrastructure management complexity and cost overhead.
• Agent development framework:
  • Recommended primary product: Agent Development Kit (ADK).
• Agent-to-agent communication:
  • Recommended primary product: Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol.
• Runtime for your agent:
  • Recommended primary product: Cloud Run
  • Alternative product 1: Gemini Enterprise Agent Runtime
    • Pros: Fully managed Python runtime, built-in memory/sessions, secure code execution sandbox.
    • Cons: Limited to Python, does not support hosting custom MCP servers, less control over container environment.
  • Alternative product 2: Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
    • Pros: Maximum infrastructure control, stateful pods, custom scaling.
    • Cons: High operational complexity and overhead.
• Model runtime:
  • Recommended primary product: Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform
  • Alternative product 1: Cloud Run
    • Pros: Serverless hosting for containerized open/custom models like Gemma.
    • Cons: Cannot serve Google Gemini models, manual instance scaling overhead.
  • Alternative product 2: Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
    • Pros: Maximum control over inference server on GPU/TPU nodes, cheap for predictable high volume.
    • Cons: Cannot run Google Gemini models, high cluster management overhead.
• Model selection:
  • Recommended primary product: Gemini Flash with Gemini Live API
  • Alternative product 1: Gemini Pro
    • Pros: Highest capability for reasoning, complex instructions, context tracking, and multi-agent coordination.
    • Cons: Higher request cost and latency, which makes it less suitable for real-time conversational requirements.
• VPC connection to the database: The architect agent sends queries through this connector to securely access resources in the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network used for storage resources in this architecture.
  • Recommended primary product: Serverless VPC Access connector.
  • Alternative product 1: Direct VPC egress
    • Pros: Lower latency, lower resource cost, and avoids throughput scaling bottlenecks.
    • Cons: Requires specific routing and subnet configurations.
• Caching:
  • Recommended primary product: Memorystore for Redis Cluster
• Database:
  • Recommended primary product: Google Cloud Databases Use the recommendations listed on this page to help the user choose the appropriate database option.
  • Alternative product 1: Compute Engine (for self-hosted databases)
    • Pros: Full control over database configurations, OS accessibility, and custom database engines or extensions.
    • Cons: High operational overhead to manually manage backups, patching, scaling, and high availability.
