Google Cloud | GCE Reliability Engineering using Terraform

Google Compute Engine (GCE) Reliability Engineering with Terraform – Master the skills to deploy and manage applications on Google Cloud's GCE. This course focuses specifically on GCE, providing practical expertise for production environments.

What You'll Learn:

• Automation with Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Learn to automate infrastructure provisioning and application deployment using powerful tools like Bash scripts, Terraform, and Packer.
• Reliability Engineering Principles: Apply proven reliability engineering practices to build resilient systems. Cover topics like Managed Instance Groups (MIG) and Load Balancers to ensure high availability.
• Google Cloud Compute Engine (GCE) Expertise: Gain hands-on experience with GCE, including creating instances (VMs) from instance templates, configuring startup scripts, and managing network configurations (Cloud NAT, DNS).
• Terraform for Infrastructure Management: Develop proficiency in using Terraform to define and manage your GCE infrastructure as code.
• Packer for Image Building: Learn to create consistent and reproducible images with Packer for faster and more reliable deployments.
• Logging & Monitoring: Implement effective logging strategies to gain insights into application behavior and troubleshoot issues.
• Network Configuration: Secure and optimize your GCE deployments by removing external IPs and configuring Cloud NAT and DNS.

Course Curriculum (10-Stage Journey):

• Stage 1: Manual Actions via GCP Console – Understand the basics of GCE through the Google Cloud Console.
• Stage 2: Enable Logging – Implement robust logging for troubleshooting and monitoring.
• Stage 3: Use of Startup Scripts – Automate instance configuration with startup scripts.
• Stage 4: Complete Automation using Bash Scripts – Automate infrastructure tasks with Bash scripting.
• Stage 5: Automation using Packer Built Images – Create and deploy infrastructure using Packer images.
• Stage 6: IaC | Provision Infrastructure using Terraform – Master infrastructure provisioning with Terraform.
• Stage 7: Create Instances (VMs) from Instance Templates – Efficiently deploy instances using instance templates.
• Stage 8: Reliability Engineering | Managed Instance Groups (MIG) – Implement high availability with MIGs.
• Stage 9: Reliability Engineering | Load Balancer – Distribute traffic and ensure application availability with Load Balancers.
• Stage 10: Remove External IPs and configure Cloud NAT and DNS – Secure and optimize your GCE deployments.
