Skip to Scheduled Dates

Course Overview

This training course builds on the networking concepts covered in the Networking Fundamentals in Google Cloud course. Through presentations, demonstrations, and labs, participants explore and deploy Google Cloud networking technologies. These technologies include: Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks, subnets, and firewalls; Interconnection among networks; Load balancing ;Cloud DNS; Cloud CDN; Cloud NAT. The course will also cover common network design patterns.

Who Should Attend

Network Engineers and Network Admins who are either using Google Cloud Platform or planning to do so Individuals who want to be exposed to software-defined networking solutions in the cloud.
