Introduction to the course5:39
Kick off the course by outlining the target audience, prerequisites, and learning outcomes, then preview roadmap and hands-on projects with Raspberry Pi, DHT11, and ESP32 in Google Cloud IoT.
Google Cloud IoT Core Architecture9:32
Explore the Google Cloud IoT Core architecture, including device cloud connection and data processing. Learn the device configuration flow and core blocks such as telemetry, MQTT/HTTP bridge, and Pub/Sub.
Getting started with IoT Core6:46
The road ahead5:48
Connect a Raspberry Pi and DHT11 sensor to Google Cloud IoT Core, publish temperature and humidity readings, and visualize data in Google Data Studio via Cloud Pub/Sub to BigQuery.
Financial Budgeting & Alerts4:14
Create a budget in Google Cloud Platform for all projects and all cloud services, set a target amount, and receive email alerts at 50%, 90%, and 100% thresholds.
Section-1 Quiz

Topic, Subscription, Registry creation6:41
Create topics, subscriptions, and a registry in Google Cloud IoT, and connect a Raspberry Pi sensor to publish data to the cloud via mqtt.
Registering a Thing7:30
Register a device in Google Cloud IoT by implementing JSON Web Token (JWT) based authentication and adding RSA and ECC public-private keys to the device registry.
Setting up & Connecting to ESP32 & Raspberry Pi Updated0:02
Download the PDF from the resources of this lecture
OpenSSL installation and Service Account6:34
