Description
A self-paced course on the judgement a senior infrastructure engineer applies on Google Cloud: structuring organisations and projects so governance scales, designing identity and access that stays least-privilege, building VPC networks and private connectivity, choosing between GKE and Cloud Run and Compute Engine, running managed data services responsibly, and operating for reliability and cost. Six modules cover the resource hierarchy and landing zone, IAM and workload identity, networking and connectivity, compute platform selection, data and storage services, and observability with reliability and cost engineering.
Written for engineers with hands-on cloud experience who are moving into platform ownership or lead roles on Google Cloud. Tech Skills Library is independent and issues no certification, credential or licence.
What is included
