Architecting with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

Looking to launch modern, cloud-native applications at scale? The Architecting with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) course teaches you how to deploy practical solutions and manage containerized workloads using GKE and related tools on Google Cloud.

This course features an interactive learning experience featuring lectures, demos, and hands-on labs. You’ll explore applications on Google Kubernetes Engine and understand the Kubernetes architecture as it runs on Google Cloud Platform. You'll also learn how to build and manage Kubernetes Engine clusters, implement RBAC, configure load balancers, and integrate monitoring and resource management into your projects.

When you complete this course, you’ll gain the ability to deploy and manage containerized applications and build robust cloud-native infrastructure. You’ll understand how software containers function, how Kubernetes schedules pods, and how to scale and secure clusters across diverse application environments. You'll work with IAM, RBAC, resource monitoring, managed storage, and command-line tools and Linux operating systems to operate GKE efficiently.

The course emphasizes real-world architecture and supports learners aiming for specialized training or advanced certification. You’ll also learn how to use Google Cloud to create new solutions or to integrate existing systems, developing both technical fluency and confidence in managing containerized applications.

This course is built for cloud architects, DevOps engineers, systems administrators, and individuals using Google Cloud for application development or IT operations. It’s also a fit for professionals looking to enroll in the Architecting with Google Kubernetes Engine series or pursue certification in containerized infrastructure design.
