Hello @AndrewB - I want to bring your attention to an important issue. An instructor on Udemy has published the real-exam questions for the 7 GCP certifications. As per the exam policy, nobody can distribute exam materials by any means. This is a clear case of copyright infringement. That instructor is earning revenue by distributing official exam questions. More than 12000+ students have direct access to these real-exam questions. Please take immediate action by contacting the Udemy trust and safety team and help maintain GCP exam integrity.

[Flavio_Correa]

Hey cloud crew! 🌟

I'm Flavio Correa, from the buzzing metropolis of São Paulo, Brazil. Just kicked off F.Correa IA Automação, where I'm blending my 20+ years of business strategy experience with my newest obsession - making AI work its magic for businesses.

These days, I'm cooking up some cool AI solutions - from chatty bots to voice assistants, plus what I like to call "AI Candy" (think bite-sized, super-specialized AI wrappers that pack a punch). But my real jam? Getting teams of professionals and from companies excited about AI -as-tools through hands-on workshops. Nothing beats seeing that "aha!" moment when people realize how AI can transform their daily grind or comapnies find their aplication potential!

I've worn many hats over the years - from steering business strategies and investment plans to running a family restaurant (complete with a kids' playground paradise!) and diving deep into tech. Now I'm channeling all that wild and wonderful experience into helping people and companies surf the AI wave. Currently going all-in on AI Platforms, crafting smart agents and automations that hopefully move the needle.

Jumping into this community to connect with fellow cloud enthusiasts, innovators and maybe spark some nice collaborations and interactions. Super keen to swap stories about rolling out AI solutions in Brazil's dynamic market and learn how you all are tackling similar challenges around the globe.

When I'm not orchestrating AI symphonies (sometimes feeling like a crazy cartoonish maestro), you'll catch me exploring SP with my four-legged canine crew, hanging with friends, or feeding my book addiction (crushed 160+ books last year - yes, I'm counting and tracking on Goodreads). And nothing beats quality time with the family - that's what keeps me grounded in this wild world.

Let's build something awesome together! "Hello world! ‌‌"

Hello everyone! 

My name is Aleksei Aleinikov, and I’m a Senior Cloud DevOps & Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience in building scalable web applications and resilient cloud-native infrastructures.

I’m located in Greece

I bridge full-stack development (Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Next.js) with infrastructure automation (Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD), focusing on performance, security, and reliability.

 I’ve designed and operated multi-region systems on GCP, AWS, and Azure, implemented disaster-recovery strategies, and deployed observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK). I’m keen to deepen my expertise in serverless architectures and ML-ops on Google Cloud.

I look forward to exchanging hands-on insights, best practices for cost optimization, and real-world DevOps patterns—and to contributing back wherever I can.

Excited to be here and to learn from—and with—you all!
