Managing Your Google Cloud Infrastructure

Once you have implemented your application infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform, you will need to maintain it. Although you can set up Google Cloud to automate many operations tasks, you will still need to monitor, test, manage, and troubleshoot it over time to make sure your systems are running properly.

This course will walk you through these maintenance tasks and give you hands-on demonstrations of how to perform them. You can follow along with your own GCP account to try these examples yourself.

Learning Objectives

• Use the Cloud Operations suite to monitor, log, report on errors, trace, and debug
• Ensure your infrastructure can handle higher loads, failures, and cyber-attacks by performing load, resilience, and penetration tests
• Manage your data using lifecycle management and migration from outside sources
• Troubleshoot SSH errors, instance startup failures, and network traffic dropping

Intended Audience

• System administrators
