Description

Learn how to deploy and manage containerized applications on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Learn how to use other tools on Google Cloud that interact with GKE deployments.

This course features a combination of lectures, demos, and hands-on labs to help you explore and deploy solution elements—including infrastructure components like pods, containers, deployments, and services—along with networks and application services. You‘ll also learn how to deploy practical solutions, including security and access management, resource management and resource monitoring.

Audience and prerequisites

This class is intended for the following job roles:

  • Cloud architects, administrators, and SysOps / DevOps personnel
  • Individuals using Google Cloud to create new solutions or to integrate existing systems, application environments, and infrastructure with Google Cloud.

To get the most out of this course, participants should have:

Prior completion of Google Cloud Platform Fundamentals: Core Infrastructure or equivalent experience
