Cloud Networking and Serverless Computing on GCP

Modern cloud architecture relies on robust networking and efficient, serverless execution. Understanding how to connect resources securely while running code without managing virtual machines is a critical skill for any cloud practitioner. This text-based course guides you from foundational cloud networking concepts to deploying highly scalable serverless applications on GCP. You will understand how to structure cloud resources, manage traffic, and run scalable code efficiently. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational cloud networking concepts, including Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), subnets, and IP addressing. - Configure secure routing, firewalls, and load balancing to manage incoming traffic. - Deploy serverless workloads using Cloud Functions and modern containerized serverless runtimes. - Connect serverless services securely to private virtual networks using modern VPC connectors. - Apply identity and access management (IAM) to enforce secure, least-privilege access. - Practice troubleshooting common network connectivity and serverless deployment scenarios. This course begins with essential terminology and core networking principles before moving into serverless compute options and security integrations. It is designed for beginners, developers, and aspiring cloud engineers with no prior GCP experience. Start your journey into cloud networking and serverless computing today.
