Architecting with Google Kubernetes Engine

Duration : 3 Days (24 Hours)

Architecting with Google Kubernetes Engine Course Overview:

In the Architecting with Google Kubernetes Engine course, participants will gain the knowledge and skills to deploy and manage containerized applications on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and other tools available on Google Cloud. Through a combination of lectures, demos, and hands-on labs, participants will explore and deploy various solution elements, including infrastructure components such as pods, containers, deployments, services, networks, and application services.

The course focuses on practical application, allowing participants to deploy real-world solutions. Key topics covered include security and access management, resource management, and resource monitoring. Participants will learn how to effectively implement security measures, manage resources efficiently, and monitor the performance of their applications and infrastructure.

With hands-on labs and practical exercises, participants will gain practical experience in deploying and managing containerized applications on Google Kubernetes Engine. The course provides a comprehensive understanding of architecting solutions using Kubernetes, combined with the necessary skills to deploy practical solutions in a secure and efficient manner.

Intended Audience:

This class is specifically designed for the following participants: Administrators, cloud architects, and SysOps/DevOps personnel. It is intended for individuals who are either using Google Cloud Platform to develop new solutions or seeking to integrate existing systems, application environments, and infrastructure with the Google Cloud Platform.

The course caters to administrators and architects who need to understand how to effectively utilize Google Cloud Platform in their organizations. It also targets SysOps/DevOps personnel who play a crucial role in managing and optimizing cloud infrastructure and operations.

Whether participants are creating new solutions or integrating existing systems, this class equips them with the knowledge and skills necessary to leverage the capabilities of Google Cloud Platform effectively. By the end of the course, participants will have a deeper understanding of the platform’s features and will be able to apply that knowledge to their respective roles and responsibilities.
