Course Overview

Architecting with Google Cloud Platform: Infrastructure by Google is a comprehensive training program designed for cloud solutions architects, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals responsible for designing and implementing scalable, secure, and efficient cloud solutions. While not directly tied to a specific certification exam, this course aligns closely with the skills assessed in the Professional Cloud Architect certification, a credential recognized by enterprises such as Spotify, Coca-Cola, and PayPal. The curriculum is ideal for individuals managing cloud infrastructure, with 78% of Google Cloud-certified professionals reporting increased confidence in deploying production workloads. Participants gain strategic insights into Google Cloud Platform’s full suite of services, learning to evaluate technical trade-offs and design solutions that meet both business and compliance requirements.

Through hands-on labs in the Google Cloud Console, students configure core technologies including Compute Engine, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Cloud IAM, Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, and Cloud Load Balancing.
