Architecting with Google Cloud: Design and Process

This class is intended for the following participants:

• Cloud Solutions Architects, Site Reliability Engineers, Systems Operations Professionals, DevOps Engineers, IT Managers.
  
• People who use the Google Cloud  to create new solutions or to integrate existing systems, application environments and infrastructure with the Google Cloud.

This course teaches participants the following skills:

• High availability design, scalability and maintainability.
  
• Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of Google Cloud products and make the right decisions.
  
• Integrate local and cloud resources.
  
• Identify ways to optimize resources and minimize costs.
  
• Implement processes that minimize downtime, such as monitoring and alarms, unit and integration testing, production resilience testing, and post-mortem incident analysis.
  
• Implement policies that minimize security risks, such as auditing or segregation of duties
  
• Implement technologies and processes that ensure business continuity in the event of a disaster.
