Google Cloud Platform provides a suite of resources and services that run on the same infrastructure that Google uses to run its own products, such as Google Search and YouTube. The services offered to access GCP resources include compute, storage, networking, big data, and machine learning.
In this course, you will learn how to create and set up new GCP projects and how to give users permission to access project resources by assigning them to roles such as owner and editor. You will also learn how to enable APIs, set up budgets, and monitor spending.
Learning Objectives
- Create and manage cloud projects
- Create and add users to projects
- Assign permissions to users
- Enable APIs for a project
- Set up budgets and monitor spending
Intended Audience
- Google Cloud Platform Administrators
- People who want to get GCP certified (eg: Associate Cloud Engineer)
Prerequisites
- Admin access to a GCP account is highly recommended
Welcome to “Setting up a Google Cloud Platform Environment”. My name is Daniel Mease and I'll be taking you through this course. I am a Google Cloud Platform instructor at Cloud Academy with over 20 years of software and web development experience.
In this course, I am going to show you how to organize your GCP account using projects and prepare it for development.
This course is intended for Google Cloud Platform Administrators or people who want to get GCP certified (eg: Associate Cloud Engineer).
After completing this course, you will be able to create and manage cloud projects, create and add users to projects, assign permissions to users, enable APIs for a project, and set up budgets and monitor spending.
