Google Cloud Digital Leader: Modern Applications on Google Cloud

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Cloud services offer a wide range of compute options, from Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings. Understanding serverless computing, managed instance groups, load balancing, and application programming interfaces (APIs) enables organizations to combine these options effectively to build scalable, reliable, and integrated applications. In this course, you will explore serverless computing, including Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, and App Engine to deploy and manage applications without provisioning servers. Next, you will discover managed instance groups for automating the creation and management of identical virtual machine instances, and load balancing for distributing traffic across multiple instances, improving the reliability and performance of applications. Finally, you will evaluate the uses of APIs, learn how APIs facilitate communication between different software systems to enable integration and functionality extension, and examine running hybrid and multicloud workloads, gaining insights into managing applications across diverse cloud environments. This course helps prepare learners for the Google Cloud Digital Leader certification exam.
