Developing Applications with Google Cloud

SS Course: 56030

Course Overview

TOP
In this 3-day instructor-led course, you learn the fundamentals of application development on Google Cloud. You learn best practices for designing cloud applications, and how to choose compute and data options for your apps. You learn about authentication and authorization, generative AI for developers, and continuous integration and delivery for your apps running in Google Cloud. You learn about event-based applications and the use of service orchestration and choreography to coordinate microservices. You learn about Cloud Functions, which allows you to implement single-purpose functions that respond to HTTP requests and process events within your cloud infrastructure.
