Learn how to manage, automate and maintain applications on Google Cloud Platform

Course Description

This 4 day instructor-led class introduces participants to the implementation of application environments and public cloud infrastructure using Google Cloud Platform. Through a combination of instructor-led presentations and hands-on labs, students learn how to deploy cloud infrastructure components such as networks, systems, and applications.
This course is designed to give participants a robust hands-on experience and is primarily lab-focused (approximately 70%).

4 days (32 hours)

This class is intended for:
