Description
This is your complete guide to masteringGoogle Cloud Networking— from foundational concepts to advanced architectures, real-world demos, and some automation with Terraform.

Whether you're a beginner or an IT professional transitioning to the cloud, this course takes youfrom zero to expertin designing, building, and managing network infrastructure onGoogle Cloud Platform (GCP)— withAWS equivalentsas a powerful addition to help you become cloud-fluent across providers.

The course starts with core GCP networking services and progresses into advanced, production-ready patterns used by real-world teams, including hybrid connectivity, service networking, and load balancing. You'll gethands-onwith practical labs,real-world scenarios, andTerraform automation.

By taking this course, you will:

Start from scratch —no prior GCP or networking experience is required

Understand thecore components of GCP networking: Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), subnets, routes, firewalls, and Shared VPC

Learn todeploy and secure compute resourcesin public and private subnets usingCompute Engine,Cloud NAT,Cloud Load BalancerandCloud DNS and Hybrid Cloud DNS
