About this Class

This two-day instructor-led course gives participants a broad study of networking options on Google Cloud Platform. Through presentations, demonstrations, and hands-on labs, learners explore and deploy GCP networking technologies, such as Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks, subnets, firewalls, interconnection among networks, load balancing, Cloud DNS, and Cloud CDN. The course also covers common network design patterns and automated deployment using Cloud Deployment Manager. Objectives This course teaches participants the following skills: Configure Google VPC networks, subnets, and routers Control administrative access to VPC objects Control network access to endpoints in VPCs Interconnect networks among GCP projects Interconnect networks among GCP VPC networks and on-premises or other-cloud networks Choose among GCP load balancer and proxy options and configure them Use Cloud CDN to reduce latency and save money Optimize network spend using Network Tiers Deploy networks declaratively using Cloud Deployment Manager Design networks to meet common customer requirements Configure monitoring and logging to troubleshoot networks problems Audience This course is intended for the following participants: Network Engineers and Network Admins who are either using Google Cloud Platform or planning to do so. Individuals who want to be exposed to software-defined networking solutions in the cloud. Prerequisites To get the most out of this course, participants should have: Completed Google Cloud Platform Fundamentals: Core Infrastructure or have equivalent experience. Clear understanding of the 7-layer OSI model. Clear understanding of IPv4 addressing. Prior experience with managing IPv4 routes. Course Outline Module 1: Google Cloud VPC Networking Fundamentals Topics Covered: Recall that networks belong to projects Explain the differences among default, auto, and custom networks Create networks and subnets Explain how IPv4 addresses are assigned to Compute Engine instances Publish domain names using Cloud DNS Create Compute Engine instances with IP aliases Create Compute Engine instances with multiple virtual network interfaces Module 2: Controlling Access to VPC Networks Topics Covered: Outline how IAM policies affect VPC networks Control access to network resources using service accounts Control access to Compute Engine instances with tag-based firewall rules Module 3: Sharing Networks Across Projects Topics Covered: Outline the overall workflow for configuring shared VPC Differentiate between the IAM roles that allow network resources to be managed Configure peering between unrelated VPC networks Recall when to use shared VPC and when to use VPC peering Module 4: Load Balancing Topics Covered: Recall the various load balancing services Configure Layer 7 HTTP(S) load balancing Whitelist and blacklist IP traffic with Cloud Armor Cache content with Cloud CDN Configure internal load balancing Determine which GCP load balancer to use when Module 5: Hybrid Connectivity Topics Covered: Recall the GCP interconnect and peering services available to connect your infrastructure to GCP Explain Dedicated Interconnect and Partner Interconnect Describe the workflow for configuring a Dedicated Interconnect Build a connection over a VPN with Cloud Router Determine which GCP interconnect service to use when Explain Direct Peering and Partner Peering Determine which GCP peering service to use when Module 6: Networking Pricing and Billing Topics Covered: Recognize how networking features are charged for Use Network Service Tiers to optimize spend Determine which Network Service Tier to use when Recall that labels can be used to understand networking spend Module 7: Network Design and Deployment Topics Covered: Explain common network design patterns Automate the deployment of networks using Deployment Manager Launch networking solutions using Cloud Marketplace Module 8: Network Monitoring and Troubleshooting Topics Covered: Configure uptime checks, alerting policies, and charts for your network services Use VPC Flow Logs to log and analyze network traffic behavior
