Course Overview
Designing scalable and reliable cloud architectures requires strong knowledge of cloud services, networking, security, and operational strategies. This mentor-led programme develops the architectural capabilities required to design enterprise-grade solutions on Google Cloud.
Across five days, learners explore architecture patterns for compute, storage, networking, and application platforms. The programme focuses on designing secure, scalable, and highly available systems that support real enterprise workloads.
Through architecture workshops, scenario-based discussions, and practical labs, participants learn to design cloud architectures, evaluate trade-offs, implement secure infrastructure, and optimise performance and cost across distributed cloud systems.
