Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Google Cloud's compute capabilities provide robust tools for optimizing performance and cost, with flexible configurations and advanced management features. In this course, you will learn about the compute capabilities of Google Cloud, focusing on the specifics of Compute Engine configuration. You will explore various options and settings to optimize performance and cost, gaining a comprehensive understanding of managing compute resources within Google Cloud. Next, you will navigate to the Google Compute Engine page to create instances and configure regions, zones, and machine types. You will complete virtual machine (VM) configurations by specifying the boot disk, setting up service accounts, and viewing networking, management, and other options. You will also practice connecting to VMs using Secure Shell (SSH) for effective management and interaction. Finally, you will use the gcloud command line tool to manage instances, run a simple website on a VM, configure startup scripts, and create snapshots. These hands-on activities will provide you with practical experience needed to effectively manage and deploy applications on Google Cloud. This course helps prepare learners for the Google Cloud Digital Leader certification exam.
