In this course, each module aims to build on your ability to interact with GKE, and includes hands-on labs for you to experience functionalities first-hand. In the first module, you'll be introduced to a range of Google Cloud services and features, with a view to helping you choose the right Google Cloud services to create your own cloud solution. You'll learn about creating a container using Cloud Build, and store a container in Container Registry. You'll also compare and contrast the features of Kubernetes and Google Kubernetes Engine, also referred to as GKE. In addition to conceptualizing the Kubernetes architecture, you'll deploy a Kubernetes cluster using GKE, deploy Pods to a GKE cluster, and view and manage Kubernetes objects.
This course is part of the following programs:
- Google Cloud Architect Learning Path Professional Certificate
- Google Cloud Engineer Learning Path Professional Certificate.
What you'll learn
- Discuss the differences among Google Cloud compute platforms
- Discuss the components and architecture of Kubernetes
- Store container images in Container Registry
- Explain how pod networking works in Google Kubernetes Engine.
- Create and manage Google Kubernetes Engine clusters using the Google Cloud console and gcloud/kubectl commands.
Prerequisites:
No prerequisite courses. To get the most out of this course, learners should have basic proficiency with command-line tools and Linux operating system environments, as well as Web server technologies such as Nginx.
