Networking in Google Cloud – 2 Days
Duration
2 Days
Description
This 2-day instructor-led course gives participants a broad study of networking options on Google Cloud. Through presentations, demonstrations, and hands-on labs, participants explore and deploy Google Cloud networking technologies, such as Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks, subnets, firewalls; interconnection among networks; load balancing; Cloud DNS; Cloud CDN; Cloud NAT. The course will also cover common network design patterns and automated deployment using Deployment Manager or Terraform.
Objectives:
This course teaches participants the following skills:
- Configure Google VPC networks, subnets, and routers
- Control administrative access to VPC objects
- Control network access to endpoints in VPCs
- Interconnect networks among Google Cloud projects
- Interconnect networks among Google Cloud VPC networks and on-premises or other-cloud networks
- Choose among Google Cloud load balancer and proxy options and configure them
- Use Cloud CDN to reduce latency and save money
- Optimize network spend using Network Tiers
- Configure Cloud NAT or Private Google Access to provide instances without public IP addresses access to other services
- Deploy networks declaratively using Cloud Deployment Manager or Terraform
- Design networks to meet common customer requirements
- Configure monitoring and logging to troubleshoot networks problems
