Google Compute Engine 2014: Qualified Developer

December 2014 with Garth Schulte

Google has retired this exam and all associated materials, meaning some links mentioned in this CBT Nuggets course won't work.

This Google Compute Engine course with Garth Schulte will teach you about the Google Cloud Platform's Infrastructure-as-a-Service product.

Now you can host your infrastructure on Google's global network. Google Compute Engine enables you to create a network of virtual machines in the Google Cloud Platform to handle any kind of workload at an extremely low cost, all hosted and managed by Google. GCE's modular and flexible design makes it easy to develop a full blown IaaS solution without the burden of managing that infrastructure.
