What you will learn

  • Choose services by state and execution requirements.
  • Plan retries, connection budgets, and service identities.
  • Interpret logs and service indicators with explicit scope.

  1. Compute Engine and Instance Lifecycles

    Choose VM responsibility, disk ownership, instance-group behavior, and rollout constraints as one operating contract.

    Start learning

  2. Cloud Storage Objects and Access

    Design object identity, access, consistency, lifecycle, and concurrency without treating a bucket as a general-purpose filesystem.

    Start learning

  3. Cloud SQL and Relational Data Contracts

    Design managed-database access, connection capacity, availability, and recovery without treating managed as responsibility-free.

    Start learning

  4. Cloud Run Execution and Scaling

    Design a request service around its container, identity, concurrency, timeout, and state contracts instead of assuming the platform fixes application behavior.

    Start learning

  5. Pub/Sub Delivery and Idempotency

    Connect message delivery, acknowledgment, ordering, retries, and application effects without promising exactly-once business behavior.

    Start learning

  6. Observability and Service Objectives

    Turn telemetry into a bounded operational question with explicit population, latency, retention, and response ownership.
