Architecting with Google Cloud Platform: Design and Process course. In English. Oslo, remote or on-site.

Introduction

This two-day instructor-led class equips students to build highly reliable and efficient solutions on Google Cloud using proven design patterns.

It is a continuation of the Architecting with Google Compute Engine or Architecting with Google Kubernetes Engine course and assumes hands-on experience with the technologies covered in either of those courses. Through a combination of presentations, design activities, and hands-on labs, participants learn to design Google Cloud deployments that are highly reliable and secure; and how to operate Google Cloud deployments in a highly available and cost-effective manner.
