Course Description

Course Overview

The Architecting Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure with Anthos (T-AHYBRID-I) course is designed to provide individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to architect and deploy hybrid cloud solutions using Google Cloud’s Anthos platform. This course focuses on the key concepts, tools, and best practices for designing and implementing hybrid cloud infrastructure that combines on-premises and cloud resources.

Prerequisites

To enroll in the T-AHYBRID-I course, participants should have a strong understanding of cloud computing concepts, networking principles, and familiarity with GCP fundamentals. They should also have experience with on-premises infrastructure and virtualization technologies. Participants should have access to a GCP project or demo environment and an on-premises environment to practice the concepts covered in the course.

Methodology

The T-AHYBRID-I course follows a blended learning approach, combining theoretical instruction, demonstrations, discussions, and hands-on labs. Participants will engage in instructor-led sessions where hybrid cloud architecture concepts, best practices, and Anthos features are explained. They will also have access to resources and tools to gain practical experience in designing and deploying hybrid cloud infrastructure using Anthos. The course encourages active participation, discussions, and collaborative problem-solving to reinforce learning.
