This course guides you through the key steps to configure a Google Cloud Platform virtual private cloud (VPC), which allows you to connect your GCP services with one another securely.

After a brief introduction, the course begins with how to set up and configure VPCs, including VPC peering and shared VPC. You'll learn how to configure routes, set up cloud NAT (network address translation), and configure VPC-native clusters in Kubernetes, before rounding off the course by looking at VPC firewalls. The topics in this course are accompanied by demonstrations on the platform in order to show you how these concepts apply to real-world scenarios.

Transcript

Hello. Welcome to Implementing a GCP Virtual Private Cloud. My name is Mark Johnson, and I'm really excited today to be helping you learn more about VPCs within Google Cloud Platform. To give you a little background on myself, I've been working with Google Cloud for about eight years now, and I also hold eight Google Cloud certifications, including the Professional Cloud Network Engineer, which is a tough exam, so I'm very hopeful that this information you find in this course will be helpful to you in passing the exam.

The intended audience for this exam is gonna be someone who really wants to learn more about Google Cloud Networking, also anybody who has a background in cloud networking with other public cloud providers, or if you just wanna learn more about Cloud in general, this will be the intended audience for this course.

As far as the prerequisites go, you don't need specifically to learn from this course, but if it does help if you understand public cloud, if you understand Google Cloud Platform from an architectural standpoint, and if you have a basic networking, understanding of network, so if you understand IP addresses and routes, things of that nature, I think you'll do just fine on this course, and that's gonna ultimately help you get the most value out of it.

We really would appreciate if you leave feedback on this course, to provide anything on how well we're doing, or how well we're not doing, anything that can help us produce the best content, is what we're looking for. Thank you very much. So with that being said, let's get ready to learn. And if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email us at support@cloudacademy.com. Thank you.
