GCP Professional Cloud Database Engineer
 
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) stands as one of the fastest-growing public cloud services. The Professional Cloud Network Engineer certification equips individuals with the skills necessary to excel in cloud computing and master Google Cloud networking.

This course covers the following topics:

GCP Basics, VPC & Subnets: This includes setting up a GCP account, regions, and zones, configuring a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), setting up a Default VPC, and creating a Subnet.
VPC Network Peering & Centralized VPC: This course teaches how to set up connectivity between different VPCs using VPC Network Peering and implement a shared VPC for network sharing across multiple projects.
- VPC Firewall: Covers the implementation of firewall rules for traffic management based on various protocols, IP addresses, tags, and service accounts.
- Configure Private Access: Explains how to access GCP or external services privately using internal IP addresses from VPC network resources.
- Cloud IAP: Demonstrates securing applications at HTTP, TCP, and SSH levels using Identity-Aware Proxy.
IP Address: This section discusses various types of IP addresses, such as internal, static, external, and ephemeral, along with address range configuration for Compute Engine and Kubernetes Engine.
Hybrid Networking: This covers the connection of on-premise data centers to the Google Cloud network using hybrid connectivity networking products like Cloud Interconnect, Cloud VPN, static routing, and dynamic routing.
- Cloud Load Balancer + Cloud DNS: Provides hands-on experience in setting up cloud load balancers for various scenarios and attaching them with Cloud DNS.
- Cloud CDN: Explains configuring Cloud CDN to optimize response times for serving traffic.
- Cloud Armor: Introduces Cloud Armor, a network security product for advanced web application layer firewall protection and DDoS attack prevention.
Logging: This covers configuring flow logs at the subnet level for better packet and network service tier tracking.
