This comprehensive course on Google Cloud Networking is designed to take learners from foundational concepts to advanced topics in network architecture, security, and performance optimization within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Whether you’re a cloud engineer, network architect, or IT professional looking to expand your expertise, this course provides the essential knowledge and hands-on skills to master GCP networking.
Google Cloud Professional Cloud Network Engineer is a certification and job role that focuses on the design, implementation, and management of network architectures in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). A Cloud Network Engineer is responsible for managing networking systems, ensuring security, optimizing network performance, and connecting on-premises environments to cloud-based solutions.
Starting with an overview of GCP and its key networking services, you’ll gain a strong understanding of the role of a Cloud Network Engineer, the responsibilities involved, and the current demand in the industry. You’ll explore critical topics such as Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), subnet design, and IP addressing, which form the backbone of cloud networking. The course covers VPC networking models, including shared and standard VPCs, along with VPC peering and best practices for designing robust network architectures.
Load balancing is a key component of cloud infrastructure, and this course dives into the different types of load balancers available in GCP, with a focus on the differences between global and regional load balancing and how to choose the right one for your use case. You’ll also learn about advanced traffic management using Google Cloud’s Traffic Director and techniques for optimizing traffic flow across regions.
Google Cloud DNS and other network services like Cloud NAT and Cloud Router are critical for managing network traffic and ensuring seamless connectivity. This course will guide you through setting up and managing DNS zones, configuring VPNs and interconnects for hybrid cloud environments, and applying best practices for hybrid network design.
Security is a top priority in cloud networking, and you’ll explore Google Cloud’s security architecture, firewall rules, and identity and access management (IAM) in the context of networking. You’ll also learn how to secure hybrid and multi-cloud networks, manage compliance, and apply best practices for network security.
The course delves into advanced networking concepts, such as network telemetry and monitoring, to ensure you can troubleshoot and optimize your network effectively. You’ll gain hands-on experience with Google Cloud’s monitoring and logging services, as well as tools like the Network Intelligence Center for advanced network analysis and troubleshooting.
To wrap up, the course focuses on designing scalable and resilient networks, optimizing network performance for minimal latency and maximum throughput, and managing network costs efficiently.
By the end of this course, you’ll have the expertise to design, implement, secure, and optimize complex network architectures in GCP, preparing you for real-world challenges and career advancement in cloud networking.
