Overview

This accelerated Networking in Google Cloud course gives participants a broad study of networking options on Google Cloud Platform.

Through presentations, demonstrations, and hands-on labs, learners explore and deploy GCP networking technologies, such as Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks, subnets, firewalls, interconnection among networks, load balancing, Cloud DNS, and Cloud CDN. The course also covers common network design patterns and automated deployment using Cloud Deployment Manager.

In just 1 day, you’ll learn to Configure Google VPC networks, subnets, and routers. You’ll also learn how to:

  • Control administrative access to VPC objects
  • Control network access to endpoints in VPCs
  • Interconnect networks among GCP projects
  • Interconnect networks among GCP VPC networks and on-premises or other-cloud networks
  • Choose among GCP load balancer and proxy options and configure them
  • Use Cloud CDN to reduce latency and save money
  • Optimize network spend using Network Tiers
  • Deploy networks declaratively using Cloud Deployment Manager
  • Design networks to meet common customer requirements
  • Configure monitoring and logging to troubleshoot networks problems

At the end of this course, you’ll sit the Google exam, and achieve your Networking in Google Cloud certification.

Through Firebrand’s Lecture | Lab | Review methodology, you’ll get certified at twice the speed of the traditional training and get access to courseware, learn from certified instructors, and train in a distraction-free environment.
