Course Description
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is one of the leading cloud platforms used by enterprises, startups, and governments worldwide. Mastering GCP architecture is essential for building scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud solutions.
This intensive 7-day course is designed to take participants from zero to expert-level GCP architects. Whether you’re new to GCP or looking to enhance your skills, this course will equip you with everything needed to become a highly competent cloud architect.
We will cover everything from foundational cloud concepts to advanced GCP architecture, including compute, storage, networking, security, identity management, messaging, cost optimization, infrastructure-as-code, governance, disaster recovery, cloud migration strategies and lots more.
Throughout the course, we’ll apply best practices by building a real-world, fully functional cloud-based bookstore system, utilizing GCP services in a hands-on and practical approach.
With over 20 years of experience as a software and cloud architect and certifications in AWS, Azure, and GCP, I provide deep insights, practical knowledge, and industry-proven best practices to ensure participants gain real expertise.
This is the most comprehensive and practical course for GCP architects, and it puts strong emphasis on practical work rather than theoretical learning.
By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills and confidence to design, implement, and manage complex GCP architectures effectively.
