Explain what Google cloud platform is and the core cloud concepts of self-service and pay-as-you-go. Describe GCP's global regions and zones, rapid elasticity, and edge caching to reduce latency.
Discover how Google Cloud core infrastructure powers efficient data centers with carbon neutrality and renewable energy. Explore per-second billing, discounts, custom machine types, and the online calculator.
Learn how Google Cloud Platform builds security into its infrastructure, from operational security and intrusion detection to identity, encryption, and hardware provenance, plus red team testing and insider risk controls.
Explore how Google Cloud Platform organizes resources into projects and folders, applies policies, and clarifies ownership and responsibilities across IaaS, PaaS, and managed services.
Learn how cloud identity and access management defines who can do what on which resources, using policies for users, service accounts, groups, and custom roles.
Connect to Google Cloud Platform via four methods—web UI, cloud shell, mobile, and REST API—and manage access with IAM policies and permissions to control resources.
Explore the marketplace on google cloud platform to quickly deploy prepackaged solutions from google and third parties, test software, and manage deployments.
Discover Google Cloud networking essentials: VPC topology, subnets, firewall rules, and routes across projects. Explore global load balancing, CDN, and secure connections via VPN, direct interconnect, and private peering.
Create virtual machines on the Google Cloud infrastructure, configuring cpu, memory, storage; scale by adding VMs behind a load balancer with persistent disks, snapshots, and pay per second compute.
Create your first virtual machine on Google Cloud using a Debian cloud image, configure a Compute Engine VM in the central region, and enable connectivity via the default VPC subnet.
Master Google Cloud Storage basics, including creating globally unique buckets and choosing locations for compliance. Discover storage classes like multiregional, nearline, and coldline, and offline data transfer options.
Compare Cloud Spanner, Cloud Datastore, and Cloud Bigtable with Cloud Storage to assess global consistency, scalability, and petabyte-scale capacity for App Engine workloads, image backups, and online transaction processing.
Learn to create a Google Cloud Storage bucket, choose a multi region location, select storage classes (nearline, coldline, archive), set uniform access, upload files, and configure lifecycle rules.
Explore how containers differ from virtual machines, and how Kubernetes orchestrates containers across clusters using pods, services, and replicas to enable scalable, microservices deployments.
Create a cloud cluster by provisioning zone, nodes, and a container, then deploy a web app with a pod and expose it via a load-balanced service to a fixed ip.
Explore Google App Engine across standard and flexible environments, auto-scaling, and built-in security, with seamless deployment and integration with Cloud Endpoints for API management and monitoring.
Preview and deploy a Google Cloud App Engine application by cloning a guest book sample, running it locally, and publishing to App Engine via Cloud Shell.
Learn how to automate deployment and monitoring in Google Cloud using the deployment manager and YAML templates to create networks, compute, and storage resources.
Deploy a virtual machine automatically using a yaml template with cloud deployment manager, updating the project id and zone to streamline lab deployment and monitoring.
Explore big data and machine learning on Google Cloud, including dataflow, spark analytics, cloud storage, bigquery, pub/sub, and ml services for speech, language, vision, and video intelligence.
Explore big data with a hands-on lab in BigQuery: create a dataset and table from website logs, and run queries to analyze web hits by hour from Google storage.
