Arcade Trail: Cloud Security and DevOps Foundations
Earned May 22, 2026 EDT
Building and running applications on Google Cloud can take many forms—and this adventure brings them together. Get hands-on with App Engine, Cloud Run, Kubernetes Engine, and Compute Engine as you deploy applications, manage scaling, and explore modern architectures, including the shift from monolithic to microservices.
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 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.
Complete the intermediate Implement DevOps Workflows in Google Cloud skill badge to demonstrate skills in the following: creating and managing Git repositories, launching, managing, and scaling deployments on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and architecting CI/CD pipelines that automate container image builds and deployments to GKE.
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.
Securing applications and streamlining delivery go hand in hand in modern cloud environments. In this trail, you’ll work with tools like Cloud KMS, Identity-Aware Proxy, and service accounts to manage access and protect resources. You’ll also explore private Kubernetes clusters, artifact management, and build CI/CD pipelines with Cloud Build—bringing together the essentials of cloud security and DevOps in practice.
