Syllabus
What is Multi-Cloud
In this module, you will learn about the fundamentals of cloud computing, such as computing, storage, database, networking, and security. Once we have the foundation established, we will discuss the difference between multi-cloud and hybrid clouds, multi-cloud architecture, and cloud service providers.
Kubernetes and Containers
In this module, you will learn about Containerization, its orchestration, and how networking works for containers. Once we get an idea about orchestration and networking, we will go through K8s basics, threat modeling, and, ultimately, hands-on activity on AKS.
Terraform and Cloud Network
An introduction to using Terraform for Google Cloud is given in this module. You may utilize some of its primary features and functions to develop and maintain Google Cloud infrastructure, and it allows you to explain how Terraform can be used to implement infrastructure as code.
