Learning Objectives
- Understand the main features of Cloud Functions
- Learn how to deploy a function
- Learn how to set up triggers
- Understand the differences between Gen 1 and Gen 2
Intended Audience
- Cloud Architects
- GCP Developers
- Anyone preparing for a Google Cloud certification
Prerequisites
- Access to a GCP account
Well, congratulations! You made it to the end of the course. You should now have enough knowledge to start experimenting with Cloud Functions on your own.
Remember, for now, Cloud Functions and Cloud Run are two separate things. So if you are going to be preparing for a Google Cloud certification, you want to be familiar with the main differences. However, once 2nd gen Cloud Functions become publicly available, the differences are going to start to get a little blurry. I recommend playing around with both Cloud Run and Cloud Functions to get a better understanding of when it is appropriate to use one versus the other.
Well, that’s all I have for you today. Remember to give this course a rating, and if you have any questions or comments, please let us know. Thanks for watching, and make sure to check out our many other courses on Cloud Academy!
