Many IT companies don't align incentives between developers who want to be agile and operators who are more concerned with stability. Google uses site reliability engineering (or SRE) to align incentives between operations and development. It also provides mission-critical production support. SRE can improve the collaboration between IT and business by incorporating SRE technical and cultural practices. This course explains the key practices of Google SRE, and the importance of IT and business leaders in the adoption of SRE.

Students will learn how to create highly reliable, efficient solutions for Google Cloud using established design patterns. This course is a continuation from the Architecting using Google Compute Engine and Architecting With Google Kubernetes Engine courses. It assumes hands-on knowledge of the technologies covered in those courses. Participants will learn how to balance business and technical requirements in order to create Google Cloud deployments that can be highly reliable, available, secure, cost-effective, and affordable. This course combines presentations with design activities and hands-on labs.

You will learn how to monitor, troubleshoot and improve your application and infrastructure performance. This course is based on the principles of Site Reliability Engineering. It includes lectures, demonstrations, hands-on labs and real-world case study. This course will give you experience in full-stack monitoring and real-time log analysis. You'll also learn how to debug production code and profile CPU and memory usage.

Each module in this course aims to improve your GKE interaction and provides hands-on labs to allow you to try out functionalities. The first module will introduce you to the various Google Cloud services and features. This module is designed to help you select the best Google Cloud services for your cloud solution. Learn how to create a container with Cloud Build and how to store it in Container Registry. The Kubernetes Engine and Google Kubernetes Engine will be compared and contrasted. You'll also be able to design the Kubernetes architecture and deploy Kubernetes clusters using GKE.
