Google Cloud ACE + GCP Networks - 2 in 1 bundle package 2026

Compare on premises versus cloud technology, showing local hardware deployment versus on-demand, serverless resources managed by Google, with renting and pay-for-what-you-use advantages.

Explore why Google Cloud offers industry dedicated solutions, robust security, per second billing, budget control, and scalable serverless tools for analytics, AI, ML, IoT, and APIs.

discover how regions and zones reduce latency and prevent outages by deploying across paris, mumbai, and new york, enabling redundancy and global availability.

Explore how Google Cloud networks use data centers, edge points of presence, and edge nodes like Google Global Cache to deliver low-latency content through peering and caching.

Adjust your learning pace by setting the video play rate from 0.5x to 2x and switch to 720p for clearer viewing. Skip rating if you’re not ready, then rate later.

Explore identity and access management (IAM) in Google Cloud, determine who can access which resources, and apply roles and bindings within the organization hierarchy.

Map the organization resource hierarchy on Google Cloud from domain to folders, projects, and resources, and explore policy inheritance, the effective policy method, and how viewer and creator roles combine.

Define roles as a set of permissions assigned to a person or service account to access GCP resources, with levels like view or edit, covering basic, predefined, and custom roles.

Understand IAM basic roles, which include thousands of permissions and demand careful assignment. Prefer specific predefined roles to enforce least privilege, with owner, editor, and viewer as examples.

Identify predefined roles in Google Cloud IAM and how Google updates permissions; compare permissions to predefined roles, grant roles to principals, and consider custom roles when no exact match exists.

Create and use custom roles in IAM to grant only specific permissions, overcoming basic and predefined rule drawbacks by defining a title, description, launch date, and required permissions.

Learn how to create a free Google account to practice GCP, claim a $300 credit for 90 days, and navigate the Google Cloud Console to manage projects and resources.

Learn to create and link projects to billing accounts, create additional billing accounts, and set up budgets and alerts with exports, and monitor forecasted costs in the billing dashboard.

Create billing budgets and email alerts by defining scope, amount, and action; choose all projects or a specific project, set thresholds, and optionally export to BigQuery for analysis.

Explore virtual networks in Google Cloud, learning how cloud computing manages virtual resources, configure compute engine VMs, and understand VPC networks, subnets, IP addressing, and routing.

Learn how Google Cloud Compute Engine defines VMs with configurable CPU, memory, storage, and boot images, and how to scale through predefined or custom VMs and VPC-based scale-out.

Create a VM in Google Cloud and install nginx light to run a lightweight web server. Configure firewall rules and use the VM's public IP to access the web app.

Learn how Google Cloud's virtual private cloud connects global data centers, assigns private and public IPs to VMs, and keeps projects, networks, regions, and zones within a single VPC.

Understand Google Cloud VPC networks and subnets, auto and custom modes, IP address ranges, and how internal and external IP addresses enable cross-region communication within a network.

Explore ip addresses, including ipv4 and ipv6, and distinguish public and private ranges, then learn subnetting and cidr notation to identify network and host portions.

Create a default and a custom VPC, add regional subnets with IP ranges, and configure networks. Test VM connectivity across regions and networks using internal and external IPs.

Discover how GCP firewall rules inspect traffic at the network edge, enforce stateful bidirectional connections, and manage default and ingress/egress rules with priorities from 0 to 65535.

Master hands-on firewall rules and policies in Google Cloud, applying rules to a VPC, understanding ingress and egress, and using priority, targets, and logging for secure traffic.

Explore Compute Engine as a customizable IaaS to create and run VMs with predefined or custom machine types, including GPUs or TPUs and tenancy considerations.

Explore Google Cloud machine families, comparing predefined general purpose, compute optimized, memory optimized, and accelerator optimized types, plus custom machine options for tailored workloads.

Explore public and custom image options for Google Cloud virtual instances. Learn about premium image pricing, forecasted costs, and importing custom images from on premises or other clouds.

Explore disk options in compute engine, including persistent disks and local SSDs, their bootable, durable roles, and how they attach to VMs and affect cost.

Explore the differences between sole tenant and multitenant nodes, including dedicated hardware, isolated security, and pricing implications for high-security projects.

Create a VM instance on Google Cloud Compute Engine and install the Apache web server, enabling HTTP traffic. Learn to use startup scripts and instance templates to automate deployment.

Explore how startup scripts automate VM creation by bootstrapping the OS, updating patches, and deploying Apache, resulting in a ready web server at startup.

Learn how instance templates simplify VM creation by defining machine family, image, startup script, and firewall rules in one template, then create multiple VMs quickly with the same configuration.

Understand managed instance groups in Google Cloud, where identical VMs are created from a template and managed as a unit with auto scaling, auto healing, and health checks for updates.

Create a managed instance group from an instance template, configure health checks, auto scaling, and auto healing to support load balancing across three VMs in a single zone.

Discover how to configure a cloud load balancer for internet-facing traffic, choosing HTTP/HTTPS or TCP/UDP, with frontend, backend, and health checks guiding traffic across three VMs.
