A Practical Guide to Google Cloud from Scratch

The Google Cloud Platform provides auto-scaling compute power and distributed in-memory caches, task queues, and datastores to write, build, and deploy cloud-hosted applications. So are you willing to learn how to architect and deploy applications on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)? Then this course is for you!

With this practical course, you will begin with learning about GCP basics where you will mainly focus on how to run the same application in different ways on GCP, choosing the right package and take advantage of the scale and reliability of GCP & much more. Once you are clear with basic, then you learn to launch your 1st Web Stack on GCP. Moving further, you will be learning to deploy your application on an infrastructure protected by more than 700 top experts in network security.

By the end of this course, you’ll know how to architect and deploy applications on GCP & migrate your application to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and choose between different features when designing an application.
