Google Cloud Platform
From the fundamentals to production: IAM, BigQuery, Cloud Run, Terraform, data pipelines, governance and AI, on a real-world insurer case (asset management).
Access: an e-mail address is enough, you receive a sign-in code. Free modules need no bank card.
What you will be able to do
- Understand the cloud and Google Cloud: service models, regions, resource hierarchy
- Manage projects, billing, IAM, storage, compute, VPC networking and managed databases
- Analyse data in BigQuery and deploy serverless services with Cloud Run
- Industrialise with gcloud, Terraform, GKE, load balancing and observability
- Design a data platform: ingestion, Dataform, Dataflow, governance and security
- Apply machine learning with BigQuery ML and manage reliability, costs and SLOs in production
Who it is for
Data, development, infrastructure and operations teams who deploy and run projects on Google Cloud, including investment data.
Prerequisites
No prerequisites for the foundation modules; the advanced modules assume the earlier ones.
