Course overview

A Google Cloud course covering compute, storage, data and container services with an emphasis on managed platforms. The course follows the Google approach of preferring managed services: Compute Engine and VPC first for grounding, then Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud SQL, BigQuery and Pub/Sub, with IAM and the operations suite throughout.

Learners deploy a containerised application on Cloud Run and GKE and query a public BigQuery dataset.

Who it is for
  • Cloud engineers and administrators
  • Developers deploying containers
  • Data engineers using BigQuery
  • Graduates preparing for Associate Cloud Engineer
Prerequisites
Basic Linux, networking and one programming language.
How it runs
Learn → Practise → Build → Experience → Demonstrate, ending in a capstone. Delivered by practitioners from the engineering bench, in Madurai, Coimbatore and online.
Final project
Containerised App on GCP with Monitoring
