Cloud Architecture

This fundamental-level quest is unique amongst the other Qwiklabs offerings. The labs have been curated to give IT professionals hands-on practice with topics and services that appear in the Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect Certification. From IAM, to networking, to Kubernetes engine deployment, this quest is composed of specific labs that will put your Google Cloud knowledge to the test. Be aware that while practice with these labs will increase your skills and abilities, we recommend that you also review the exam guide and other available preparation resources.

• Orchestrating the Cloud with Kubernetes
• In this lab you will learn how to provision a complete Kubernetes cluster using Google Container Engine; deploy and manage Docker containers using kubectl; and break an application into microservices using Kubernetes’ Deployments and Services.
• Continuous Delivery Pipelines with Spinnaker and Kubernetes Engine
• Create a Kubernetes Engine cluster, deploy an application, and use Spinnaker to continuously deploy the application when changes are made to the application.
• Multiple VPC Networks
• In this lab, you create several VPC networks and VM instances and test connectivity across networks.
• Troubleshooting Workloads on GKE for Site Reliability Engineers
• The Cloud Operations Sandbox is intended to make it easy for you to deploy and run a non-trivial application that lets you explore the Google Cloud Platform services, particularly the Cloud Operations (formerly Stackdriver) product suite.
