Networking in Google Cloud
3 daysILTIntermediateLoading...
Overview
This training course builds on the networking concepts covered in the Networking Fundamentals in Google Cloud course. Through presentations, demonstrations, and labs, participants explore and deploy Google Cloud networking technologies. These technologies include: Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks, subnets, and firewalls; Interconnection among networks; Load balancing; Cloud DNS; Cloud CDN; Cloud NAT. The course will also cover common network design patterns.
What You'll Learn
- Configure VPC networks, subnets, and routers
- Control administrative access to VPC objects
- Control network access to endpoints in VPCs
- Interconnect networks among Google Cloud projects
- Implement network connectivity between Google Cloud projects
- Implement load balancing
- Configure traffic management among load balancer backend services
- Use Cloud CDN to reduce latency
- Optimize network spend using Network Service Tiers
- Configure private connection options to provide access to external resources and services from internal networks
Who Should Attend
Network engineers and administrators who use the Google Cloud console or are planning to do so. Individuals who want to be exposed to software-defined networking solutions in the cloud.
Prerequisites
Having completed the Google Cloud Fundamentals: Core Infrastructure course or having equivalent experience. Prior understanding of the 7 layer OSI model. Prior understanding of IPv4 addressing. Prior experience with managing IPv4 routes.
