As an authorised Google Cloud Training Partner, we’ve been selected by Google to deliver this two-day course. Through lectures, demos, and hands-on labs, we’ll help you explore and deploy Google Cloud networking technologies.
We’ll cover some of the key technologies and principles used when building a Cloud network including Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks, subnets, and firewalls; interconnection among networks; load balancing; Cloud DNS; Cloud CDN; and Cloud NAT. Throughout the session, we’ll also look at common network design patterns.
By the end of the day, you’ll have a deeper understanding of the main networking infrastructure in Google Cloud and how you can use these solutions to achieve business objectives.
Our Networking in Google Cloud course is available as a private training session that can be delivered via Virtual Classroom, at our training centre in The Shard, or at a location of your choice in the UK.
