Advanced Google Cloud Compute Engine

Naveed Tauhid

In this course, _Advanced Google Cloud Compute Engine_, you’ll learn to design, plan, and implement virtual machines and related services in Google Cloud Platform. First, you’ll explore virtual machine (VM) availability, reliability, pricing, scaling, roles, and management. Next, you’ll discover how to manage a collection of VM instances as a single entity called an instance group. Finally, you’ll learn how to use the Compute Engine API to create and run virtual machines using REST APIs. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have an understanding of the Compute Engine service and the skills needed to design, plan, and implement virtual machines and related services in Google Cloud Platform.
