Google Cloud Memorystore offers the possibility to create and manage caching clusters such as Redis and Memcached. Cloud Memorystore skills in Google Cloud are also essential for attaining certifications like the Professional Data Engineer certification. For such certifications and to build solutions in Google Cloud, a good grasp of Cloud Memorystore principles is needed.

The playground is a safe and secure sandbox environment for you to explore your own ideas, follow along with Cloud Academy courses, or answer your own questions all without the need to install any software on your local machine. The extended duration of this playground provides you with ample time to play to your heart's content. The goal is to be able to experiment and learn with little start time or overhead. Feel free to experiment with creating and configuring, both Redis and Memcached clusters. You'll have the permissions necessary to create a single Redis cluster and a single Memcached cluster. Enjoy!
