About the course

Hello Cloud Gurus,
Welcome to our Introduction to Google Cloud Course.
Within this course, you can expect to learn the foundations of Google Cloud such as Identity and Access Management, Compute Engine instances, storage, and networking. We get hands on with some services as well such as Cloud Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL, and more.

If you are new to Google Cloud and you want to see how the platform and services work, then this is the course for you! To get the most out of this course you should have an understanding of cloud concepts, as we will be covering the basics of GCP but not the cloud itself.

If you have any questions, jump in our community forum. We encourage you to reach out and work with others in the community on a similar journey.
