Networking in Google Cloud Platform

This 2-day instructor-led course gives participants a broad study of networking options on Google Cloud Platform. Through presentations, demonstrations, and hands-on labs, learners explore and deploy GCP networking technologies, such as Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks, subnets, firewalls, interconnection among networks, load balancing, Cloud DNS, and Cloud CDN. The course also covers common network design patterns and automated deployment using Cloud Deployment Manager.

Who should attend this course?

This course is intended for the following participants:

  • Network Engineers and Network Admins who are either using Google Cloud Platform or planning to do so
  • Individuals who want to be exposed to software-defined networking solutions in the cloud.
Prerequisites

To get the most out of this course, participants should have:

  • Completed Google Cloud Fundamentals: Core Infrastructure or have equivalent experience
  • Clear understanding of the 7-layer OSI model
  • Clear understanding of IPv4 addressing
  • Prior experience with managing IPv4 routes

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
