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.

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.

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.

As platforms grow, maintaining speed, reliability, and seamless user experiences becomes critical. Inspired by Bobble AI and its journey to support millions of real-time interactions, this challenge explores how cloud-native systems are designed for efficiency at scale. You’ll work with Docker and Kubernetes to run and orchestrate applications, while also using IAM, Cloud Storage, and Monitoring to manage access, data, and performance. The result: a clearer view of how the right mix of containers, automation, and observability keeps modern applications fast, resilient, and efficient.

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.

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.

In this introductory-level course, you get hands-on practice with the Google Cloud’s fundamental tools and services. Optional videos are provided to provide more context and review for the concepts covered in the labs. Google Cloud Essentials is a recommendeded first course for the Google Cloud learner - you can come in with little or no prior cloud knowledge, and come out with practical experience that you can apply to your first Google Cloud project. From writing Cloud Shell commands and deploying your first virtual machine, to running applications on Kubernetes Engine or with load balancing, Google Cloud Essentials is a prime introduction to the platform’s basic features.
