The Google Cloud Computing Foundations courses are for individuals with little to no background or experience in cloud computing. They provide an overview of concepts central to cloud basics, big data, and machine learning, and where and how Google Cloud fits in.
By the end of the series of courses, learners will be able to articulate these concepts and demonstrate some hands-on skills.
The courses should be completed in the following order:
1. Google Cloud Computing Foundations: Cloud Computing Fundamentals
2. Google Cloud Computing Foundations: Infrastructure in Google Cloud
3. Google Cloud Computing Foundations: Networking and Security in Google Cloud
4. Google Cloud Computing Foundations: Data, ML, and AI in Google Cloud
This first course provides an overview of cloud computing, ways to use Google Cloud, and different compute options.

While the traditional approaches of using data lakes and data warehouses can be effective, they have shortcomings, particularly in large enterprise environments. This course introduces the concept of a data lakehouse and the Google Cloud products used to create one. A lakehouse architecture uses open-standard data sources and combines the best features of data lakes and data warehouses, which addresses many of their shortcomings.
