Security in Google Cloud

Part 1: Networking in Google Cloud: Defining and Implementing Networks

Module 1: Google Cloud VPC Networking Fundamentals

In this module, we’re going to cover the fundamentals of Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networking in Google Cloud. This includes the different types of VPC objects, Internal DNS, Cloud DNS, IP aliases and VMs with multiple network interfaces.

Module 2: Controlling Access to VPC Networks

In this module, we’re going to cover ways to control access to VPC Networks. This includes Cloud Identity and Access Management (Cloud IAM) and firewall rules.

 Module 3: Sharing Networks across Projects

In this module, we are going to cover two configurations for sharing VPC networks across Google Cloud projects. First, we will go over Shared VPC which allows you to share a network across several projects in your Google Cloud organization. Then, we will go over VPC Network Peering which allows you to configure private communication across projects in the same or different organizations.

 Module 4: Load Balancing

In this module, we are going to cover the five different types of load balancers that are available in Google Cloud. We will also go over managed instance groups, Cloud Armor and Cloud CDN.

Part 2: Networking in Google Cloud: Hybrid Connectivity and Network Management

Module 5: Hybrid Connectivity

In this module, we are going to cover the Google Cloud interconnect and peering services available to connect your infrastructure to Google Cloud. These services are Dedicated Interconnect, Partner Interconnect, IPsec VPN, Direct Peering and Carrier Peering.

Module 6: Networking Pricing and Billing

In this module, we are going to cover how Google Cloud networking features are charged for, how to leverage Network Service Tiers to optimize your spend and how to administer billing within Google Cloud.

Module 7: Network Monitoring and Troubleshooting

In this module, we are going to cover network monitoring and logging features that can help you troubleshoot your Google Cloud network infrastructure.
