6) Skill Badge: Perform Foundational Infrastructure Tasks in Google Cloud
7) Skill Badge: Set Up and Configure a Cloud Environment in Google Cloud
8) Skill Badge: Automating Infrastructure on Google Cloud with Terraform
Earn a skill badge by completing the Automating Infrastructure on Google Cloud with Terraform quest, where you will learn how to write infrastructure as code with Terraform. In this quest, you will get hands-on experience building, changing, and destroying infrastructure, managing local and remote state, importing infrastructure, and building your own modules.
9) Skill Badge: Deploy and Manage Cloud Environments
10) Skill Badge: Optimize Costs for Google Kubernetes Engine
11) Course: Preparing for the Professional Cloud Architect Certification Exam
This course uses a top-down approach to recognize knowledge and skills already known, and to surface information and skill areas for additional preparation. You can use this course to help create your own custom preparation plan. It helps you distinguish what you know from what you don't know. And it helps you develop and practice skills required of practitioners who perform this job.
