Why study this course

This two-day instructor-led course features a combination of lectures, design activities, and hands-on labs to show you how to use proven design patterns on Google Cloud to build highly reliable and efficient solutions and operate deployments that are highly available and cost-effective.

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.

On successful completion of this course, Lumify Work will issue you a digital badge that you can share on your social media channels and use as part of your wider applicable certification and training transcript.
