Set Up and Configure a Cloud Environment in Google Cloud

Earn a skill badge by completing the Set Up and Configure a Cloud Environment in Google Cloud quest, where you learn multiple ways to deploy and monitor applications including how to: explore IAM rols and add/remove project access, create VPC networks, deploy and monitor Compute Engine VMs, write SQL queries, deploy and monitor VMs in Compute Engine, and deploy applications using Kubernetes with multiple deployment approaches. A skill badge is an exclusivedigital badge issued by Google Cloud in recognition of your proficiency with Google Cloud products and services and tests your ability to apply your knowledge in an interactive hands-on environment. Complete this skill badge quest, and the final assessment challenge lab, to receive a skill badge that you can share with your network.

• Cloud IAM: Qwik Start

• Introduction to SQL for BigQuery and Cloud SQL
• In this lab you will learn fundamental SQL clauses and will get hands on practice running structured queries on BigQuery and Cloud SQL.
• Multiple VPC Networks
• In this lab, you create several VPC networks and VM instances and test connectivity across networks.
• Cloud Monitoring: Qwik Start
• This lab shows you how to monitor a Google Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) instance with Cloud Monitoring. Watch the short videos Monitor Health of All Your Cloud Apps with Google Cloud monitoring and Monitor a VM Instance with Cloud monitoring, GCP Essentials.
• Managing Deployments Using Kubernetes Engine
• Dev Ops best practices make use of multiple deployments to manage application deployment scenarios. This lab provides practice in scaling and managing containers to accomplish common scenarios where multiple heterogeneous deployments are used.
• Set Up and Configure a Cloud Environment in Google Cloud: Challenge Lab
• This challenge lab tests your skills and knowledge from the labs in the Kubernetes in Google Cloud quest. You should be familiar with the content of the labs before attempting this lab.
