  • 2. Apply Google Cloud's observability tooling—including Cloud Monitoring and Logging—to manage service performance and troubleshoot issues.
  • 3. Master SRE-aligned practices such as SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets to ensure reliability at scale.
Prerequisites
  • This path is designed for learners who already have hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform. Candidates should be comfortable working in production cloud environments, have experience writing or reading infrastructure-as-code, and be familiar with concepts like deployment pipelines, service monitoring, and incident response.
  • While not mandatory, experience as a DevOps engineer, site reliability engineer (SRE), or cloud-native developer will make the learning path more intuitive. This content assumes technical fluency and will not cover foundational cloud concepts. Learners new to Google Cloud or DevOps practices should consider foundational content or certifications such as the Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer before attempting this path.
