Data Engineering, Big Data, and Machine Learning on GCP

Data engineering on Google Cloud

The course is offered by Google Cloud and centres on data engineering on the Google Cloud Platform. It links big data processing to machine learning, so the work covers how data is prepared and moved as well as how models use it.

Who it is for

Intermediate learners who want to launch a data engineering career on Google Cloud, and engineers already working on GCP who want to extend into machine learning, are the intended audience. Its vendor focus makes it most useful for roles that run on that platform.

Points to consider

• Understand the platform basics before the big data and machine learning topics.
• Plan for hands-on practice on the platform, since the skills are platform-specific.

Keep a note of which GCP services each lesson uses, so you can revisit them when building your own pipeline.
