This glossary gathers acronyms, initialisms, and general expressions, as they are specifically used in the context of GCP, where they may have specialized definitions when compared with their more general use.

HINT: use the search box at the top right of the page.

It does not attempt to replace a general glossary like Wikipedia, but rather complement it, focusing on the needs of GCP practitioners, e.g. those pursuing the Certified Professional Architect certification.
