Congratulations on completing the Google Cloud fundamentals core infrastructure training course. Before you go, let's take a few minutes to review what we've covered. In module 01, you're introduced to Google Cloud and cloud computing specifically. Specifically, you explored the concept of managed infrastructure and managed services through IaaS infrastructures of 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 02, you learned about the Google Cloud resource hierarchy which is made up of four levels, resources, projects, folders and an organization node. You also learned about defining policies and their downward inheritance, when to use 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, APIs and the Cloud Console Mobile App. In module 03, 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 compatibility features like routing tables, firewalls, VPC, peering and shared VPC. All of which result 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 networks can be interconnected with the Google VPC. In module 04, 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 cold line storage which are used for less frequently accessed cool data and archive storage. In module 05, you learned about containers which are invisible boxes around your code and its dependencies. You were introduced to three container based products, Kubernetes, an open source platform for managing containerized workloads and services. Google Kubernetes Engine GKE, a Google hosted managed Kubernetes service in the cloud. And Anthos, Google's answer to modern hybrid and multicloud distributed systems and services management. In module 06, the focus was on developing applications in the cloud. You explored app engine, a fully managed serverless platform for developing and hosting web applications at scale and the two app engine environment standard and flexible. Two API management tools provided by Google Cloud, Cloud Endpoints and Apigee Edge and Cloud Run, a managed compute platform that lets you run stateless containers via web requests or Pub/Sub events. The focus for module 07 was developing and deploying in the cloud. You learned about Cloud Source Repositories which are full featured Git repositories hosted on Google Cloud. Cloud functions, a lightweight event based asynchronous compute solution to create single purpose functions. And Terraform which lets you use a template to write the specifications for application environment in the same way you'd write a configuration file. And in the final module, you focused on logging and monitoring on Google Cloud. You explored the four golden signals that measure systems performance and reliability, latency, traffic, saturation and errors. Service Level Indicators, SLIs, Service Level Objectives, SLOs, and Service Level Agreements which are all types of targets set for systems for golden signal metrics. And finally, Google's integrated observability tools which include Cloud monitoring, Cloud logging, error reporting, debugger, Cloud trace and Cloud profiler. 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. And 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 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.
