This three-day instructor-led course teaches participants techniques for monitoring, troubleshooting, and improving infrastructure and application performance in Google Cloud. Guided by the principles of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and using a combination of presentations, demos, hands-on labs, and real-world case studies, attendees gain experience with full-stack monitoring, real-time log management and analysis, debugging code in production, tracing application performance bottlenecks, and profiling CPU and memory usage.

Audience

This class is intended for the following participants:

  • Cloud architects, administrators, and SysOps personnel
  • Cloud developers and DevOps personnel

To get the most out of this course, participants should have:

  • Basic scripting or coding familiarity
  • Proficiency with command-line tools and Linux operating system environments

This course teaches participants the following skills:

  • Plan and implement a well-architected logging and monitoring infrastructure
  • Define Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs)
  • Create effective monitoring dashboards and alerts
  • Monitor, troubleshoot, and improve Google Cloud infrastructure
  • Analyze and export Google Cloud audit logs
  • Find production code defects, identify bottlenecks, and improve performance
  • Optimize monitoring costs

Module 4
Monitoring Critical Systems

  • Choose best practice monitoring project architectures
  • Differentiate Cloud IAM roles for monitoring
  • Use the default dashboards appropriately
  • Build custom dashboards to show resource consumption and application load

Module 5
Configuring Google Cloud Services for Observability

  • Integrate logging and monitoring agents into Compute Engine VMs and images
  • Enable and utilize Kubernetes Monitoring
  • Extend and clarify Kubernetes monitoring with Prometheus
  • Expose custom metrics through code, and with the help of OpenCensus

Module 6
Advanced Logging and Analysis

  • Identify and choose among resource tagging approaches
  • Define log sinks (inclusion filters) and exclusion filters
  • Create metrics based on logs
  • Define custom metrics
  • Link application errors to Logging using Error Reporting
  • Export logs to BigQuery

Module 7
Monitoring Network Security and Audit Logs

  • Collect and analyze VPC Flow logs and Firewall Rules logs
  • Enable and monitor Packet Mirroring
  • Explain the capabilities of Network Intelligence Center
  • Use Admin Activity audit logs to track changes to the configuration or metadata of resources
  • Use Data Access audit logs to track accesses or changes to user-provided resource data
  • Use System Event audit logs to track GCP administrative actions

Module 8
Managing Incidents

  • Define incident management roles and communication channels
  • Mitigate incident impact
  • Troubleshoot root causes
  • Resolve incidents
  • Document incidents in a post-mortem process

Module 9
Investigating Application Performance Issues

  • Debug production code to correct code defects
  • Trace latency through layers of service interaction to eliminate performance bottlenecks
  • Profile and identify resource-intensive functions in an application

Module 10
Optimizing the Costs of Monitoring

Logging, Monitoring, and Observability in Google Cloud Training Course in New Zealand

New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and it consists of two main islands and 700 smaller islands. Two main islands are the North Island and the South Island. The capital city of New Zealand is Wellington and the most popular city of the island country is Auckland. English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language are the official languages of New Zealand. As of January 2022, the population of the country is about 5,138,120. 70% of the population are of European descent, 16.5% are indigenous Māori, 15.1% Asian and 8.1% non-Māori Pacific Islanders.

Since most of the country lies close to the coast, mild temperatures are observed year-round. January and February are the warmest months while July is the coldest month of the year. Fiordland, the first national park of New Zealand Tongariro
