Transcript

Welcome to our “Introduction to Google Cloud Operations Suite”. I’m Guy Hummel, and I’ll be showing you how to monitor your GCP systems.

To get the most from this course, you should know the fundamentals of Google Cloud Platform, such as how to create virtual machine instances and use App Engine. If you need a refresher, then you can take our Google Cloud Platform: Fundamentals course.

You should also have experience with performing operations tasks, especially working with Linux. It would also be helpful to have some programming experience, although just knowing the basics of a typical programming language should be enough.

This is a hands-on course with lots of demonstrations. The best way to learn is by doing, so I recommend that you try performing these tasks yourself on your own Google Cloud account. If you don’t have one, then you can sign up for a free trial.

We’ll be going through the components of the Cloud Operations suite to monitor, log, report errors, debug, and trace your applications.

Now, if you’re ready to learn how to monitor your Google Cloud infrastructure, then let’s get started.
