Organizations of all sizes are embracing the power and flexibility of the cloud to transform how they operate. However, managing and scaling cloud resources effectively can be a complex task. This course explores the fundamental concepts of modern operations, reliability, and resilience in the cloud, and how Google Cloud can help support these efforts.

Managing cloud costs requires a shift from traditional hardware ownership to a flexible consumption model. This module investigates the transition from capital expenditure (CapEx) to operating expenditure (OpEx), the use of the Google Cloud resource hierarchy for access control, and the tools used to provide financial visibility and prevent budget overruns.
