Syllabus - What you will learn from this course
Introduction
In this module we introduce the Architecting with Google Compute Engine course series. This course series is defined for cloud solution architects, DevOps engineers, and anyone who's interested in using GCP, to create new solutions or to integrate existing systems, application environments, and infrastructure with a focus on Compute Engine.
Module 1: Introduction to GCP
In this module, we will provide you with an introduction to GCP by building on what you learned about the GCP infrastructure from the course introduction.
Module 2: Virtual Networks
In this module, we start by introducing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) which is Google’s managed networking functionality for your Cloud Platform resources. Then we dissect networking into its fundamental components, which are projects, networks, subnetworks, IP addresses, routes and firewall rules, along with network pricing.
Module 3: Virtual Machines
In this module, we cover virtual machine instances, or VMs. First we'll start with the basics of Compute Engine, followed by a quick little lab to get you more familiar with creating virtual machines. Then, we’ll look at the different CPU and memory options that enable you to create different configurations.Next, we will look at images and the different disk options available with Compute Engine. After that, we will discuss very common Compute Engine actions that you might encounter in your day-to-day job. This will be followed by an in-depth lab that explores many of the features and services covered in this module.
Top reviews from Essential Cloud Infrastructure: Foundation
Hands-on labs are great! Overall gives a good understanding how things can be setup. Good course if you would like to brush-up on things. Some small updates are needed as UI has changed.
Content is good, a great intro to get started with GCP, need some minor updates on content and labs to be aligned with latest GCP,, but nothing you shouldn't be able to figure out.
