Congratulations, you've made it to the end of this course. Let's review the key takeaways before wrapping things up.
First, I talked about how Google Cloud Identity and Access Management (also known as IAM) provides you an easy way to manage your user accounts. You can create custom roles, or use the existing ones to maintain property security access to your cloud resources.
Second, I talked about service accounts. Service accounts offer a way to assign identities to non-humans, such as virtual machines and cloud applications. You saw how to create, manage, and assign service accounts to a virtual machine.
Finally, I covered audit logs. Centralized audit logs are critical for security and event management in the cloud. Google Cloud Operations suite provides a complete picture of everything happening all in a single dashboard.
