Preparing for Google Cloud Certification: Cloud DevOps Engineer Professional Certificate

Cloud Foundations for SRE

⏱️ 5-6 weeks

• This intensive foundation covers Google Cloud’s global infrastructure, including regions, zones, and network topology.
• Students implement Compute Engine deployments, configure IAM for operations teams, and establish monitoring baselines with Cloud Monitoring.
• The module includes hands-on incident response simulations.

Infrastructure as Code

⏱️ 6-7 weeks

• Focusing on production-grade automation, this section teaches Terraform state management, module development, and policy constraints using Google Cloud Config Connector.
• Students build reusable templates for VM clusters, Kubernetes deployments, and network infrastructure while implementing GitOps workflows.

Continuous Delivery Systems

⏱️  6-7 weeks

• Covering the full deployment lifecycle, this module implements CI/CD pipelines with Cloud Build, Artifact Registry, and Spinnaker.
• Students configure canary deployments, automated rollback triggers, and progressive delivery patterns for stateful services. Includes security scanning integration.

SRE Observability

⏱️ 5-6 weeks

• This deep dive into Google Cloud’s observability tools teaches log analysis with Cloud Logging, distributed tracing with Cloud Trace, and custom metric creation.
• Students implement four golden signals monitoring, configure alerting policies, and build dashboard-as-code solutions.

Reliability Engineering

⏱️7-9 weeks

• Focusing on SRE core concepts, this section implements error budgets, SLI/SLO frameworks, and chaos engineering experiments.
• Students practice blameless postmortems, capacity planning with forecasting, and game-day exercises for resilience testing.

Capstone Project

⏱️10-12 weeks

• Students design and implement a complete SRE solution for a simulated production environment.
• The project includes infrastructure automation, monitoring implementation, incident response playbooks, and reliability metrics reporting – culminating in an executive review presentation.
