Google Cloud Partner of the Year

Private

A private training session for your team. Groups can be of any size, at a location of your choice including our training centres.

This course uses lectures, demos, and hands-on labs to help you explore and deploy Google Cloud networking technologies. You will learn about common network design patterns and automated deployment.

We will cover some of the key technologies and principles used when building a Cloud network including Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks, subnets, and firewalls; interconnection among networks; load balancing; Cloud DNS; Cloud CDN; and Cloud NAT.

You will then move on to look at using Cloud Deployment Manager or Terraform to automate essential parts of the deployment.

This Networking on Google Cloud course is offered as a private training session that can be delivered virtually or at a location of your choice.

Course overview

Who should attend:

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

By the end of the day you’ll have a deeper understanding of the main networking infrastructure in Google Cloud and how you can use these solutions to achieve business objectives.

Walk away with the ability to:

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
Optimise network spend using Network Tiers
Configure Cloud NAT or Private Google Access to provide instances without public IP addresses 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 network problems

Prerequisites
