Essential Google Cloud Infrastructure: Foundation

Korshub take

Direct from Google Cloud and already taken by nearly 193,000 learners, this course is the standard first stop for anyone who needs to actually operate infrastructure on GCP rather than just read about it.

It sits at the intermediate level, so it moves quickly past what the cloud is and into the architecture decisions that show up in real deployments.

Key areas

• Core infrastructure services: virtual machines, virtual networking, and cloud storage
• Infrastructure-as-a-Service concepts and cloud computing architecture
• Network planning and design, and cloud platform management

It's built for IT professionals and developers who already understand networking or systems administration and now need Google Cloud specifics — a natural precursor to certification-track study rather than a general-audience overview.
