Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) has become a leading cloud computing platform, enabling organizations to build, deploy, and manage scalable applications using secure, high-performance cloud services. As cloud adoption continues to accelerate, professionals with practical GCP knowledge are in high demand across software development, IT operations, and cloud engineering. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Google Cloud Platform, equipping learners with the foundational knowledge and hands-on skills needed to confidently work with GCP services.

This course begins with an introduction to cloud computing and the Google Cloud ecosystem, including how to create and configure a GCP account. You will then explore compute services such as Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, and App Engine through practical application deployments. The course continues with storage and database services, including Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, and Bigtable, followed by networking concepts using Load Balancing, Cloud DNS, and Cloud CDN. You will also learn to secure cloud environments using Identity and Access Management (IAM), Cloud Armor, and Security Scanner, before exploring data integration and analytics with Pub/Sub, BigQuery, and Looker Studio. Finally, you will gain hands-on experience with monitoring tools such as Cloud Logging and Error Reporting while building a complete technical support portal using multiple GCP services.

By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently deploy, manage, secure, monitor, and analyze cloud applications on Google Cloud Platform using real-world GCP services and best practices.
