Compute, Network, and Storage Services Configuration in GDC

Overview

6-week cohort with live MIT Faculty sessions. Learn to scale AI beyond the pilot stage.

In this course, you’ll configure and manage core services within Google Distributed Cloud (GDC), focusing on Kubernetes architecture, storage, networking, and security. Explore how GDC leverages Kubernetes to deploy and manage workloads efficiently, using declarative methods to streamline operations and enhance scalability.

You'll learn how to create secure storage buckets, provision database clusters, and configure GDC networking to isolate and interconnect workloads. Additionally, you’ll learn how to manage platform security — including key management and encryption — to ensure compliance and data protection. By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills to configure, secure, and optimize GDC services for a wide range of use cases.
