Congratulations on completing the Google Cloud Fundamentals Core infrastructure
trading course. Before you go, let's take a few minutes to review
what we've covered. In Module 1, you were introduced to Google Cloud
and Cloud Computing. Specifically, you
explored the concept of managed infrastructure and managed services through IaaS, infrastructure as a service, and PaaS, platform as a service, the Google Cloud network, Google Cloud's focus on security throughout
our infrastructure, how Google publishes
key elements of technology using open
source licenses, and Google Cloud's pricing
structure and billing tools. In Module 2, you learned about the Google Cloud
Resource Hierarchy, which is made up of
four levels: Resources, projects, folders, and
then organization node. You also learned about defining policies and their
downward inheritance, when to use Cloud Identity
and Access Management, or Cloud IAM, and the four ways to access and
interact with Google Cloud, through the Cloud console, the Cloud SDK and Cloud Shell, API's, and the Google Cloud App. In Module 3, you explored
how Compute Engine works, with a focus on virtual machines
and virtual networking. You were introduced to the VPC, or Virtual Private Cloud, Compute Engine's
Autoscaling feature, and important Google Virtual
Private Cloud compatibility features like routing tables, firewalls, VPC peering
and shared VPC. All of which results in the need for less network management. You also explored
Cloud Load Balancing, a fully distributed
software-defined managed service for
all your traffic. Finally, you compared
how on-premises or other Cloud networks can be interconnected with
the Google VPC. In Module 4, you explored Google Cloud's five core
storage options: Cloud Storage, Cloud Bigtable, Cloud SQL, Cloud Spanner, and Firestore. You also examined the
four storage classes that make up Cloud storage,
Standard storage, which is used for frequently
accessed hot data, nearline storage and
coldline storage, which are used for less
frequently accessed cool data , and archive storage. In Module 5, you learned
about containers, which are invisible boxes around your code and
its dependencies. You were introduced to containers
along with Kubernetes, an open-source platform for managing containerized
workloads and services, and Google Kubernetes
Engine, GKE, a Google hosted managed
Kubernetes service in the Cloud. Finally, in Module 6, the focus was on developing
applications in the Cloud. You explored Cloud Run, a managed compute platform
that lets you run stateless containers via web
requests or pub-sub events, and Cloud Functions, a lightweight event-based
asynchronous compute solution to create single
purpose functions. We hope that this course
is just the beginning of your Google Cloud journey. For more training and
hands on practice, explore the different
learning paths available at Cloud.google.com/training. If you're interested
in validating your expertise and showcasing your ability to transform businesses with Google
Cloud technology, you might consider
working toward a Google Cloud certification. You can learn more about Google Cloud certification offerings at Cloud.google.com/certifications. Thanks for completing
this course. We'll see you next time.
