Virtual, Private

Virtual Classroom

A convenient and interactive learning experience, that enables you to attend on of our courses from the comfort of your own home or anywhere you can log on. We offer Virtual Classroom on selected live classroom courses where this will appear as an option under the location drop down if available. These can also be booked as Private Virtual Classrooms for exclusive business sessions.

Private

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

Learn the core infrastructure and networking options on Google Cloud Platform.

As a trusted Google Cloud partner, Jellyfish has been selected by Google to facilitate the delivery of this two-day instructor led course that will give you a broad overview of networking solutions on Google Cloud Platform.

You’ll learn how to 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.

This Networking on Google Cloud Platform is offered as a private training session and can be delivered at our own training venues in the Rosebank Link, Johannesburg or Umhlanga, any location of your choice or via Virtual Classroom.

Course overview

Who should attend:

Network Engineers and Network Admins who are either using Google Cloud Platform or planning to do so
Individuals 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 on Google Cloud Platform 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 GCP projects
Interconnect networks among GCP VPC networks and on-premises or other-cloud networks
Choose among GCP load balancer and proxy options and configure them
Use Cloud CDN to reduce latency and save money
Optimise network spend using Network Tiers
Deploy networks declaratively using Cloud Deployment Manager
Design networks to meet common customer requirements
Configure monitoring and logging to troubleshoot networks problems

Preequisites

To get the most out of this course you should have complete the Google Cloud Platform Fundamentals: Core Infrastructure or have equivalent experience. You will need a clear understanding of the 7-layer OSI model and of IPv4 addressing, as well as prior experience with managing IPv4 routes.
