Raw data is only useful if it is clean, structured, and secure. In this track, you’ll start by processing and preparing data using Dataprep, Dataflow templates, and Apache Spark. You'll learn how to clean up datasets so they are ready for machine learning models. From there, you'll focus on security by working with tools that find and mask sensitive information like personal IDs and credentials. You'll practice redacting critical details and creating safe, de-identified copies of your data in Cloud Storage. By finishing the hands-on challenge labs, you’ll show you can handle big data workflows while keeping confidential information completely safe.
Complete the Implement Sensitive Data Protection on Google Cloud Skill Badge course to demonstrate skills in the following: using Sensitive Data Protection services (including the Cloud Data Loss Prevention API) to inspect, redact, and de-identify sensitive data in Google Cloud.
Earn the Introductory Skill Badge by completing the Implement Speech and Language Solutions with Pre-trained APIs course, where you learn how to use speech related API tools to synthesise and transcribe speech.
Keeping your cloud resources secure and making your apps smarter are two essential skills for any cloud developer. In this voyage, you’ll start with the security fundamentals, learning how to configure service accounts, manage IAM permissions using gcloud, and set up custom roles. Once you've secured your environment, you'll work with Google Cloud's pre-trained AI tools—converting text to synthetic speech, translating languages on the fly, and transcribing audio files into text. Complete with two practical challenge labs to test your skills, you'll walk away knowing how to safely manage access to your cloud project while adding powerful language and speech features to your applications.

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.
Complete the introductory Build LookML Objects in Looker skill badge course to demonstrate skills in the following: building new dimensions and measures, views, and derived tables; setting measure filters and types based on requirements; updating dimensions and measures; building and refining Explores; joining views to existing Explores; and deciding which LookML objects to create based on business requirements.
Building a reliable platform for data analysis requires structured data modeling and clean, maintainable code. In this challenge, you’ll start with the building blocks of LookML, creating custom dimensions, measures, and derived tables to shape your data exactly how you need it. From there, you'll work on making your platform faster and easier to use by setting up caching, defining datagroups, and modularizing your code using extends. By following these development best practices, you'll walk away knowing how to build efficient, scalable data models that your team can easily rely on.
Complete the intermediate Manage Data Models in Looker skill badge course to demonstrate skills in the following: maintaining LookML project health; utilizing SQL runner for data validation; employing LookML best practices; optimizing queries and reports for performance; and implementing persistent derived tables and caching policies.
Complete the introductory Monitor and Log with Google Cloud Observability skill badge course to demonstrate skills in the following: monitoring virtual machines in Compute Engine, utilizing Cloud Monitoring for multi-project oversight, extending monitoring and logging capabilities to Cloud Functions, creating and sending custom application metrics, and configuring Cloud Monitoring alerts based on custom metrics.
Writing code is just the first step; you also need to know how to deploy it smoothly and keep it running at its best. In this adventure, you’ll get started with serverless setups by running code on Cloud Run Functions and connecting your services using Google Cloud Pub/Sub. From there, you'll work on the operations side—building out clean development environments, keeping tabs on multiple projects at once, and setting up smart alerts so you can spot and fix issues early. With a couple of challenge labs thrown into the mix, you’ll walk away with the skills needed to build, monitor, and scale apps on Google Cloud.
Earn a skill badge by completing the Set Up an App Dev Environment on Google Cloud skill badge course, where you learn how to build and connect storage-centric cloud infrastructure using the basic capabilities of the following technologies: Cloud Storage, Identity and Access Management, Cloud Functions, and Pub/Sub.
Complete the intermediate Implement Cloud Security Fundamentals on Google Cloud skill badge course to demonstrate skills in the following: creating and assigning roles with Identity and Access Management (IAM); creating and managing service accounts; enabling private connectivity across virtual private cloud (VPC) networks; restricting application access using Identity-Aware Proxy; managing keys and encrypted data using Cloud Key Management Service (KMS); and creating a private Kubernetes cluster.
Earn a skill badge by completing the The Basics of Google Cloud Compute skill badge course, where you learn how to work with virtual machines (VMs), persistent disks, and web servers using Compute Engine.
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!
Earn the introductory skill badge by completing the Build a Website on Google Cloud skill badge course. This course is based on the Get Cooking in Cloud series and covers`:`Deploying a website on Cloud RunHosting a web app on Compute EngineCreating, deploying, and scaling your website on Google Kubernetes EngineMigrating from a monolithic application to a microservices architecture using Cloud Build
Earn a Skill Badge by completing the Deploy and Manage Applications on Google App Engine course, where you learn how to use App Engine with Python, Go, and PHP.
