This path starts off by introducing you to important concepts and terminology for working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You learn about, and compare, many of the computing and storage services available in Google Cloud Platform, as well as important resource and policy management tools. Next, participants explore and deploy solution elements, including infrastructure components such as networks, virtual machines and applications services. You'll also learn about the role of a cloud architect, approaches to infrastructure design, and virtual networking configuration. Participants also get an introduction to creating and managing software containers and an introduction to the architecture of Kubernetes.
