Original Description
GCP: Compute Services is the second course of Exam Prep: Google Cloud Certified Associate Cloud Engineer Specialization. This course begins with Google Compute Engine, covering machine types, images, pricing, billing, and preemptible VM instances with practical demos. Learners explore the gcloud CLI for instance deployment and understand the use of instance groups. The course then delves into managed and serverless services, including Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), with emphasis on private clusters, Autopilot mode, image creation, and app deployment.
The course is divided into two modules, and Lessons and Video Lectures further segment each module. This course facilitates learners with approximately 2:00-2:30 Hours of Video lectures that provide both Theory and Hands-On knowledge. Also, Graded and Ungraded Quizzes are provided with every module to test the ability of learners.
- Module 1: Compute in Google Cloud
- Module 2: Managed Compute Services in Google Cloud
The course is designed for professionals and learners aiming to master GCP architecture and services. It combines foundational concepts with real-world implementation scenarios for cloud infrastructure, networking, storage, and data management.
- Associate Cloud Engineer
- Cloud Support Engineer
- Cloud Operations Engineer
- Site Reliability Engineer (Junior/Associate level)
By the end of the course, learners will be able to:
- Deploy and manage scalable workloads using Compute Engine, preemptible VMs, and instance groups.
- Run containerized apps on GKE with Autopilot, Private Clusters, and custom deployment images.
- Build serverless apps using App Engine, Cloud Run, and Cloud Functions with features like traffic splitting and cron jobs.
