What you'll learn
Before you can choose the right Google Cloud compute option for a workload, you need a clear picture of what virtual machines do well, how to configure and launch one correctly, and how to confirm it is behaving as expected.
In this course, Google Cloud Compute Fundamentals, you'll build a practical working model of Compute Engine by completing a real VM deployment from decision to verification.
First, you'll explore where virtual machine compute fits in Google Cloud and which simple workload types are well suited to a VM. Next, you'll discover how to configure and create a basic Compute Engine instance and confirm it is running and reachable. Then, you'll learn how to recognize and correct the most common VM deployment and availability problems. Finally, you'll differentiate Compute Engine from Google Cloud's other compute models so you can make informed decisions as your workloads grow.
When you're finished, you'll have the practical foundation needed to deploy and manage virtual machines in Google Cloud with confidence.
