Google Associate Cloud Engineer: Configuring Access and Security
Managing access securely in Google Cloud is critical to protecting resources and ensuring compliance. This course will teach you how to configure IAM policies and service accounts to enforce least privilege effectively.
What you'll learn
Managing access in Google Cloud can be challenging—providing too many permissions may compromise security, while too few can hinder your team's productivity. In this course, Google Associate Cloud Engineer: Configuring Access and Security, you’ll gain the ability to balance flexibility and control by effectively managing IAM policies and service accounts. First, you’ll explore how to view and create IAM policies while understanding the differences between basic, predefined, and custom roles. Next, you’ll discover how to create and manage service accounts, including using them in IAM policies with only the minimum permissions required. Then, you’ll investigate how to assign service accounts to resources and manage their access, including impersonation and delegation scenarios. Finally, you’ll learn how to create and manage short-lived service account credentials for secure, temporary access. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of IAM and service accounts needed to confidently answer access and security questions for the ACE certification.

About the author
Oddly enough, theater - or more exactly, performance art. After coming to NY to pursue a career as a theater director, I started doing solo work to better understand acting. At the time, I belonged to a group that had received an NEA grant and I used my money to buy a personal computer that I then performed with, on stage. That led me down the rabbit hole of technology and before I knew it, I was writing books on web design - which was quickly followed by building on-line courses as a part-time, and later, full-time content author for ACG and Pluralsight.
