Complete the introductory Implementing Cloud Load Balancing for Compute Engine skill badge to demonstrate skills in the following: creating and deploying virtual machines in Compute Engine and configuring network and application load balancers.
A season to build, experiment, and grow—one skill at a time. You’ll start with the fundamentals of networking, creating the foundation that connects everything together. From there, you’ll step into automation and application development using Cloud Scheduler, App Engine, and machine learning APIs. By the end, you’ll have a more confident, hands-on understanding of how modern applications are built, connected, and run on the cloud.
Complete the intermediate Engineer AI Agents with Agent Development Kit (ADK) skill badge by completing this course to demonstrate skills in the following: formulating real-world language model research problems; building a simple tokenizer; preparing a dataset for training a transformer language model; running the training loop of a small language model. Explore other content in the Gemini Enterprise Agent Ready (GEAR) program.
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.
