Course Overview
TOPThis is a slightly shortened version of our regular Google Cloud Fundamentals: Core Infrastructure class that we periodically offer for free to our customer base. While this class does include hands-on labs, they are only available during the duration of class. Furthermore, these classes are run more webinar-style to accommodate a much larger audience. Students can chat with the instructor, but will not have the full two-way audio and video experience of our regular instructor-led classes.
