This three-day course will allow you to get the most out of Google Cloud Run, a managed compute platform that lets you run containers directly on top of Google's scalable infrastructure.
Through a combination of lectures, hands-on labs, and supplemental materials, you’ll learn how to design, implement, deploy, secure, manage, and scale applications on Google Cloud using Cloud Run.
You can deploy code written in any programming language on Cloud Run if you can build a container image from it. In fact, building container images is optional. If you're using Go, Node.js, Python, Java, .NET Core, or Ruby, you can use the source-based deployment option that builds the container for you, using the best practices for the language you're using.
Our Application Development with Cloud Run course is available as a private training session that can be delivered via Virtual Classroom or at a location of your choice in South Africa.
