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.
Earn a skill badge by completing the Set Up a Google Cloud Network skill badge course, where you will learn how to perform basic networking tasks on Google Cloud Platform - create a custom network, add subnets firewall rules, then create VMs and test the latency when they communicate with each other.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Online games can get unpredictable. One update drops, a new event goes live—and suddenly, thousands of players are logging in at the same time. That’s where the backend really gets tested. Companies like Com2uS rely on cloud infrastructure to handle exactly this kind of pressure without things falling apart. Here, you’ll work through the same building blocks—setting up networks, handling secure connections, and deploying apps with Docker and Kubernetes. You’ll add authentication, keep an eye on things with logging, and move data when needed. It’s the kind of work that keeps everything running smoothly while players just focus on the game.
Earn an introductory skill badge by completing the Implement Cloud Collaboration and Productivity Workflows course, where you will get introduced to Google's collaborative platform and learn to use Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Drive, Sheets, and AppSheet.
