Course TOPICS

Module 1: Defining the Service

  • Describe users in terms of roles and personas

  • Write qualitative requirements with user stories

  • Write quantitative requirements using key performance indicators (KPIs)

  • Evaluate KPIs using SLOs and SLIs

  • Determine the quality of application requirements using SMART criteria

Module 2: Microservice Design and Architecture

  • Decompose monolithic applications into microservices

  • Recognize appropriate microservice boundaries

  • Architect stateful and stateless services to optimize scalability and reliability

  • Implement services using 12-factor best practices

  • Build loosely-coupled services by implementing a well-designed REST architecture

  • Design consistent, standard RESTful service APIs

Module 3: DevOps Automation

  • Automate service deployment using CI/CD pipelines

  • Leverage Cloud Source Repositories for source and version control

  • Automate builds with Google Cloud Build and build triggers

  • Manage container images with Google Container Registry

  • Create infrastructure with code using Deployment Manager and Terraform

Module 4: Choosing Storage Solutions

  • Choose the appropriate Google Cloud data storage service based use case, durability, availability, scalability and cost

  • Storage binary data with Cloud Storage

  • Store relational data using Cloud SQL and Spanner

  • Store NoSQL data using Firestore and BigTable

  • Cache data for fast access using Memorystore

  • Build a data warehouse using BigQuery

Module 5: Google Cloud and Hybrid Network Architecture

  • Design VPC networks to optimize for cost, security and performance

  • Configure global and regional load balancers to provide access to services

  • Leverage Cloud CDN to provide lower latency and decrease network egress

  • Evaluate network architecture using the Network Intelligence Center

  • Connect networks using peering and VPNs

  • Create hybrid networks between Google Cloud and on-premises data centers

Module 6: Deploying Applications to Google Cloud

  • Choose the appropriate Google Cloud deployment service for your applications

  • Configure scalable, resilient infrastructure using Instance Templates and Groups

  • Orchestrate microservice deployments using Kubernetes and GKE

  • Leverage App Engine for a completely automated platform as a service (PaaS)

  • Create serverless applications using Google Cloud Functions

Module 7: Designing Reliable Systems

  • Design services to meet requirements for availability, durability and scalability

  • Implement fault tolerant systems by avoiding single points of failure, correlated failures and cascading failures

  • Avoid overload failures the the circuit breaker and truncated exponential backoff design patterns

  • Design resilient data storage with lazy deletion

  • Analyze disaster scenarios and plan for disaster recovery using cost/risk

Module 8: Security

  • Design secure systems using best-practices like separation of concerns, principle of least privilege and regular audits

  • Leverage Google Cloud Security Command Center to help identify vulnerabilities

  • Simplify cloud governance using or organization policies and folders

  • Secure people using IAM roles, Identity Aware Proxy and Identity Platform

  • Manage the access and authorization of resources by machines and processes using service accounts

  • Secure networks with with private IPs, firewalls and Google Cloud private access

  • Mitigate DDoS attacks by leveraging Cloud DNS and Cloud Armor

Module 9: Maintenance and Monitoring

  • Manage new service versions using rolling updates, blue-green deployments and canary releases

  • Forecast, monitor and optimize service cost using the Google Cloud pricing calculator, billing reports and by analyzing billing data

  • Observe if your services are meeting their SLOs using Stackdriver Monitoring and Dashboards

  • Use Uptime Checks to determine service availability

  • Respond to service outages using Stackdriver Alerts
