Course Conclusion
The course is part of these learning paths
See 3 moreIn this course, focusing on GCP resource optimization, we'll look at ways to identify resource costs and how to identify resource utilization levels. We'll also cover preemptible VMs and how to use them to optimize utilization and to save on costs.
You’ll learn what committed use discounts are and how you can benefit from them. And finally, we'll cover TCO considerations and network pricing.
Learning Objectives
- Learn how to identify resource costs and utilization with a view to optimizing them
- Understand what preemptible VMs are and how they can be used to manage costs
- Learn about committed use discounts and commitment types
- Learn about TCO considerations and network pricing on GCP
Intended Audience
This course is intended for those who wish to learn how to optimize resource utilization on the GCP platform, and for those preparing for GCP certifications.
Prerequisites
To get the most out of this course, you should already have some working knowledge of GCP.
Hi there! Welcome to Optimizing Resource Utilization on GCP. My name is Thomas Mitchell and I’ll be taking you through this course.
I’m a GCP instructor at cloud Academy and I have over 25 years of IT experience, several of those with cloud technologies. If you have any questions about this course, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn, or send an email to support@cloudacademy.com.
This course is intended for those who wish to learn how to optimize resource utilization on the GCP platform, and for those preparing for GCP certification.
We are going to start things off by taking a look at ways to identify resource costs and how to identify resource utilization levels.
After covering resource costs and utilization, we’ll dive into preemptible VMs. You’ll learn what preemptible VMs are, and what they offer. You’ll also learn how to use them to optimize utilization and to save on costs.
Next, we’ll take a look at committed use discounts. You’ll learn what they are and how you can benefit from them. You’ll also learn about committed use types and committed use pricing.
We’ll close out the course with TCO considerations and network pricing.
After finishing this course, you'll come away with a foundational understanding of how to optimize resource utilization on GCP.
We’d love to get your feedback on this course, so please give it a rating when you’re finished.
