You will learn to deploy and manage virtual machines with Compute Engine. You will explore how to store and retrieve data using Cloud Storage, and leverage SQL for data analysis with BigQuery and Cloud SQL. Plus, you will investigate the fundamentals of containerization and orchestration with Kubernetes Engine, and dive into infrastructure as code principles using Terraform.
Overall, by the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of Google Cloud's infrastructure components, and be able to build, deploy, and manage scalable applications with confidence. Plus, you will have valuable skills you can highlight on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
This course comprises four purposely designed modules that take you on a carefully defined learning journey. If you are thinking about taking the course separately, it is worth noting that it is part of the Google Cloud Security Engineer Program.
