Detailed Course Outline
Course Introduction
Demonstration Lecture - Using Recommendations for Infrastructure as Code
Recommender enables you to retrieve recommendations for Google Cloud resources, helping you to improve cloud security, save costs, and more.
Eng Lab 1 - Optimizing Network Spend
In this lab, you create one VM in the Premium network service tier (default) and one VM in the Standard network service tier. Then you compare the latency and network paths for each VM instance. With Network Service Tiers, Google Cloud enables you to optimize your cloud network for performance by choosing the Premium Tier, or for cost with the new Standard Tier.
