Don't let rogue infrastructure give you a fright this Halloween. In this spooky journey, you'll conjure Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus to monitor eerie anomalies, migrate wandering workloads, and banish runaway metric costs. Then, summon the raw analytical power of AlloyDB—brewing migrations from PostgreSQL and supercharging heavy query speeds with the Columnar Engine. Slay both challenge labs to prove no gremlin, phantom spike, or bloated query can haunt your cloud.

Transforming unstructured multimedia into searchable, structured data is the core of modern cognitive computing. In this voyage, you'll analyze sentiment and extract entities using the Cloud Natural Language API, pairing language workflows with Apache Spark to demonstrate big-data scalability. From there, you'll branch into multimodal synthesis—generating lifelike audio using Text-to-Speech, bridging global barriers with the Cloud Translation API, and annotating video streams via Video Intelligence. Complete both challenge labs to prove you can deploy pre-trained models that read, speak, translate, and inspect content at scale.

Teaching computers to see and listen is a lot easier when you have pre-trained machine learning APIs doing the heavy lifting. In this adventure, you'll start by querying Google Cloud endpoints directly from APIs Explorer, then teach your applications to read multilingual text, recognize facial features, and spot landmarks in raw photos. Once your visual pipeline is dialed in, you'll turn to audio—converting spoken words into real-time transcripts and streaming live audio directly through web interfaces. Knock out both challenge labs unassisted to prove you can turn unstructured sight and sound into clean, actionable cloud intelligence.
