Architecting with Google Cloud Platform Design and Process

Duration : 2 Days (16 Hours)

Architecting with Google Cloud Platform Design and Process Course Overview:

The two-day instructor-led Architecting with Google Cloud Platform Design and Process class is designed to empower students in building highly reliable and efficient solutions on Google Cloud by leveraging proven design patterns. It is a continuation of either the Architecting with Google Compute Engine or Architecting with Google Kubernetes Engine course and assumes participants have hands-on experience with the technologies covered in those courses.

Throughout the class, a combination of presentations, design activities, and hands-on labs will be used to guide participants. They will learn how to define and balance both business and technical requirements to design Google Cloud deployments that are characterized by high reliability, high availability, strong security, and cost-effectiveness.

The course emphasizes practical application, allowing participants to gain valuable experience in designing solutions using Google Cloud. By the end of the course, students will have developed the skills and knowledge needed to design robust and optimized Google Cloud deployments, taking into account key considerations such as reliability, availability, security, and cost-efficiency.
