Duration:

2 Days

Course Overview:

This two-day instructor-led class equips you to build highly reliable and efficient solutions on Google Cloud Platform. It is a continuation of the Architecting with Google Cloud Platform: Infrastructure course and assumes hands-on experience with the technologies covered in that course. Through a combination of presentations, demos, and hands-on labs, you will learn to design GCP deployments that are highly reliable and secure as well as how to operate GCP deployments in a highly available and cost-effective manner.

Audience:

Employees of federal, state and local governments; and businesses working with the government.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Design for high availability, scalability, and maintainability
  • Assess tradeoffs and make sound choices among Google Cloud Platform products
  • Integrate on-premises and cloud resources
  • Identify ways to optimize resources and minimize cost
  • Implement processes that minimize downtime, such as monitoring and alarming, unit and integration testing, production resilience testing, and incident post-mortem analysis
