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

As an authorized Google Cloud Training Partner, we’ve been selected by Google to deliver this two-day course. Through lectures, demos, and hands-on labs, we’ll help you explore and deploy Google Cloud networking technologies.

We’ll 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. Throughout the session, we’ll also look at common network design patterns.

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.

Our Networking in Google Cloud course is available as a private training session that can be delivered via Virtual Classroom or at a location of your choice in South Africa.
