Networking in Google Cloud

Course Code: GO5976 / Duration: 2 Days

Course Overview

In this 2-day instructor-led course, participants will be able to study Google Cloud Networking Tools options in depth. Through presentations, demonstrations and hands-on labs, participants will explore and also implement GCP networking technologies such as CDN, DNS, load balancing, networking, firewalls, subnetworks and Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networking. In this course, common network design patterns and automated deployment with Cloud Deployment Manager are also discussed.

Virtual Learning:
This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.
