Training Agenda

Google Cloud
Platform (GCP)

Google Cloud Platform offers the cloud infrastructure behind Google Search, YouTube, and Gmail — with particular strengths in Kubernetes (GKE is the gold standard), data analytics (BigQuery), and machine learning tooling. For teams building data-intensive or Kubernetes-native applications, GCP often offers the most capable managed services. This training covers GCP core services, identity model, networking, and data platform fundamentals.
