About Course
About Google Cloud Fundamentals
Start with the platform itself: what Google Cloud is, how it is billed, and how to keep it secure.
Google Cloud is now a default option for enterprises in India, and the first problem any organisation hits is not technical. It is that nobody on the team can read the bill, set a budget or explain what a service account is. This programme starts there and builds up: what the platform is, how its resource hierarchy works, how access is controlled and how cost is governed.
Course Overview
12-week Google Cloud Fundamentals training (72 hours) covering Cloud IAM, Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, BigQuery and VPC. Cloud Digital Leader prep. Live online and classroom.
Why Learn Google Cloud Fundamentals
The entry barrier is lower than most people expect. Cloud Digital Leader is a non-technical certification, and the roles it leads into — support associate, junior engineer, pre-sales consultant — are the ones Indian IT services firms and consultancies hire for in the largest numbers. What employers want at this level is fluency: the ability to sit in a customer conversation and describe the platform accurately.
The second reason is that every later specialisation pays better once you hold this foundation. Engineers who can also explain billing to a finance team, or architects who understand the policy model underneath a design, are consistently the ones promoted first. Twelve weeks buys you that base plus the certification to prove it.

Hands-on Practice and Capstone
Capstone: Assess a 200-server on-premise estate for cloud readiness: draw the target resource hierarchy, propose compute, storage and network services, estimate the monthly run cost with committed-use discounts applied, write the IAM baseline, and present the recommendation with trade-offs.
Production scenario: Finance flags a runaway cloud bill. Trace the spend to the responsible projects, identify unattached disks and oversized instances, apply budgets and alerts, and produce a rightsizing plan with the projected saving.
Course Duration, Mode and Certification
