78%—or nearly 8 in 10—business leaders say Google Cloud helps them stay ahead in the age of AI. A big part of that comes down to how teams build and connect intelligent systems. Here, you’ll build and manage conversational agents, and use speech-to-text and translation APIs to handle different types of input. You’ll also move from monolithic apps to microservices on GKE, connect workflows using webhooks, and use observability tools to keep track of what’s happening. IAM comes in as well to manage access where needed. It’s a practical look at how these pieces are used together in real setups.
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is all about running and managing containerized applications without worrying too much about the underlying setup. In this adventure, you’ll get hands-on with how things actually work—managing workloads, debugging issues, and trying out autoscaling. You’ll also explore Autopilot, run load tests, and work with private clusters and network access. By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of how GKE setups are put together and handled in practice.
On Google Cloud, building an app usually means handling more than just the code. You’ll need to deploy it, connect services, and keep things running properly. In this voyage, you’ll host a web app, set up a deployment pipeline, and build a REST API with Cloud Run. You’ll also try out Flutter and set up a Python development environment. You’ll work with VPC networks, load balancing, and clean up unused resources along the way. It’s a practical set of tasks that reflects how apps are actually run on Google Cloud.
A lot of cloud work comes down to moving data, managing access, and making sense of what’s happening behind the scenes. In this trail, you’ll migrate a MySQL database to Google Cloud, work with IAM permissions using gcloud, and analyze network traffic with VPC Flow Logs. You’ll also store and manage media files, prepare data with Dataprep, and build reports using Looker Studio and LookML. There’s even a lab on measuring Speech-to-Text accuracy. It’s a mix of tasks that shows how data is handled, monitored, and used across different parts of Google Cloud.
Welcome to Base Camp, where you’ll develop key Google Cloud skills (available in Spanish and Portuguese too!) and earn an exclusive credential that will open doors to the cloud for you. No prior experience is required!
Modern cloud teams rely on automation and strong platform knowledge to move faster and smarter. In this trail, you’ll deploy Kubernetes Load Balancers and Cloud SQL using Terraform, strengthen observability with Cloud Logging, and customize analytics experiences in Looker using Liquid. You’ll also put your knowledge to the test through role-based Arcade Quizzes — from Data Practitioner and Database Engineer to Workspace Administrator — sharpening both your technical confidence and real-world readiness.
