Overview
Obtaining your certification as an Associate Cloud Engineer communicates to prospective employers your strength and abilities in Google Cloud. Associate Cloud Engineers are capable of deploying and safeguarding infrastructure and apps, maintaining business solutions to guarantee they match performance standards, and keeping an eye on the running of several cloud-based projects.
Additionally, Associate Cloud Engineers have shown that they are capable of scaling and maintaining deployed cloud systems that make use of self-managed or Google-managed services on Google Cloud via the use of the command-line interface and the Google Cloud Console.
Many Associate Cloud Engineers are prepared to transition their talents to the cloud age after years of experience in the field of racking and stacking servers on-premises. Getting certified as an Associate Cloud Engineer will help you advance in your IT career by providing you with opportunities to work as a network engineer, cloud developer or architect, cloud security engineer, or cloud systems engineer, among other roles.
The Google Associate Cloud Engineer (ACE) Course imparts knowledge on how to deploy apps, track operations, and administer business apps.
Associate Cloud Engineers monitor operations, administer business solutions, and deploy apps. Using the Google Cloud Console and the command-line interface, they administer one or more deployed solutions that utilize self-managed or Google-managed services on Google Cloud.
In order to maintain one or more deployed solutions that make use of Google-managed or self-managed services on Google Cloud, participants learn how to utilize Google Cloud Console and the command-line interface.
The Associate Cloud Engineer test evaluates your proficiency in the following areas: creating a cloud solution environment; deploying and implementing a cloud solution; configuring access and security; organizing and configuring a cloud solution; and guaranteeing the cloud solution’s effective operation.
Those with at least six months of Google Cloud management experience are advised to enroll in this course.
