Install google cloud sdk and initialize it with gcloud init to authenticate via browser and set a default project. Follow cross-platform steps for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Explore identity and access management for google cloud, defining members, resources, and roles. Learn how iam policies secure across organization and project levels, using predefined and custom roles.
Explore Google Cloud billing and cost management features to track expenses using reports, filters, and SKU breakdowns, and set budgets and alerts for enterprise workloads.
Learn Google Cloud Storage as object storage accessed via an API, organized into buckets, with durable data and geo redundancy across regions, plus storage classes from standard to archival.
Master the gsutil command line interface to manage Google Cloud Storage: list buckets and contents, enable bucket versioning, copy data recursively from local folders, and delete objects or buckets.
Discover how storage transfer moves data between on-prem, other clouds like S3, and Google Cloud storage. Apply a planning framework from assessment to deployment and monitoring, using Storage Transfer Service.
Explore Google Compute Engine by creating virtual machine instances through the console, using predefined or custom templates, configuring region, machine type, disks, and networking, and connecting to manage running instances.
Demonstrates using instance templates to define VM configurations for scalable deployment, enabling versioning strategy with updated OS images and redeployment through a managed instance group.
Create and manage instance groups with stateless, stateful, and unmanaged modes. Set up an instance template and auto scaling with health checks.
Explore Google's virtual private cloud (vpc), a global network with flexible ip ranges and regional subnets. Leverage shared vpc across projects with firewall rules and vpn gateways for secure interconnect.
Learn how Google firewall rules limit ingress and egress at the VPC level with stateful five-tuple matching, and explore cloud net for scalable outbound traffic monitoring.
Explore cloud spanner, a relational database that delivers strong consistency across globally distributed infrastructure, leveraging the Paxos algorithm to break the CAP doctrine and enable scalable, low-latency applications.
