📣 Update! 📣

Head over to week 2's Five Star Labs challenge for the latest stop on the #QwiklabsExpress!

Revisit week 1's challenge....

Got your ticket to free labs? Great! Thanks for joining us!

This is the first station on a three-stop holiday journey between now and the end of the year. Each week, we’ll launch new learning recommendations and opportunities to connect (and gifts too).

This week, you’re invited to Learn Something New!

Have you ever set up a secure VPC network? Used Terraform? Built a Looker dashboard? Find something in the catalog that you’ve never done before, and give it a shot 🙂

And now the fun part: we have 50 gifts under the tree this week. How to get your name on one of the tags? Be one of the first 50 GCC users to…

Complete a Google Cloud skill badge or quest this week (badge must be dated between now and Dec. 18, no exceptions).
AND be one of the first unique 50 commenters on this exact post (in the Google Cloud Community only). To be considered, your post must include all of the following:

A link to your Skills Boost profile showing your new badge (sorry, badges earned outside the challenge timeline don’t qualify!)
And in your comment, answer the question, “What’s one new thing you learned from the badge?” This can be a quick sentence or two, or a paragraph or more. (I love writing but not everyone does!)

Limited to the first 50 GCC members to FULLY COMPLETE REQUIREMENTS or December 18, 2021 EOD (whichever comes first).

👉DO NOT EXPECT A DM IMMEDIATELY👈 if you think you are eligible for a gift. DMs will arrive before Jan 31, 2022. Limit one prize per person, only while supplies last, first come first serve.

FAQs

What if I earn multiple badges?

Great! You can post multiple badges if you like but only one post is eligible.

Where do I post my comment?

Reply to this post. Any posts outside of this thread will not be considered.

What if I am #51?

You missed this one but never fear. Stay tuned for next week’s challenge!

What if I don’t want to post a link to my Skills Boost profile?

You are welcome to avail yourself of the free training opportunity, but you’re only eligible for a gift if you meet all the requirements listed.

What if I don’t want to post in the GCC?

You are welcome to avail yourself of the free training opportunity, but you’re only eligible for a gift if you meet all the requirements listed.

What if I have a question about the gift?

I’m glad you asked! All swag-related questions should be posted on this thread. Any swag-related comments posted elsewhere (for example in the general forum) will be assessed and removed by moderators, in an effort to keep our forums well-organized and helpful.

Cheers and good luck, looking forward to reading about new skills 🙂🎄

@emily927 #QwiklabsExpress!

Hey Google Cloud Community! I hope you all are doing well.

I am very happy and excited to tell that I just completed "Managing Cloud Infrastructure with Terraform, Language, Speech, Text, & Translation with Google Cloud APIs, Understanding LookML in Looker, Optimize Costs for Google Kubernetes Engine, Flutter Development, Google Workspace for IT Administrators, Migrate MySQL data to Cloud SQL using Database Migration Service, Create ML Models with BigQuery ML " Quests and earned many badges. Here is the link of my Skills Boost profile : https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/public_profiles/d02a2458-6690-4235-ab94-78919a6a65e6

I have learned many things like in Managing Cloud Infrastructure with Terraform I have learned how to describe and launch cloud resources with Terraform. Files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned. This was the new thing that I have learned using Looker, learned how to write LookML code to create new dimensions and measures, create derived tables and join them to Explores, filter Explores.

That was really good experience to explore new things. And yes enjoyed a lot...

First of all, i would link to thank Google cloud team and especially @emily927 for organising wonderful events. I have been using Qwiklabs/Google Cloud skill boost since years and have learned alot of things about the cloud. In this particular badge, i learned about the Cloud Architecture, including but not limited to Kubernetes, Creating pipelines, VPC networks andtroubleshooting workloads in GKE. I feel more confident in the above topics and would love to take part in earning more badges.

This is my first hands-on . The labs had given me insights on how Event-driven architecture can be performant and scalable.

I have been doing the traditional request-response model on several microservice services on my workspace. Maybe now it's a good time to try something new!

I have just completed my quest on Cloud Architecture where I gain knowledge about Kubernetes Engine, how we can implement it in google cloud to continuous delivery of the pipelines with spinnaker I also get to know that how cloud architecture works to get access to multiple VPN networks and also I got know about troubleshooting workloads . Moreover, I get hands-on experience of the total thing in the lab which helped me to get a live experience in the google cloud shell. I got very much value by completing the Quest on Cloud Architecture.

This has been my first introductory course for the GCP (even though earlier I had completed several labs during the Learn to Earn challenge), where I learned about the Google Cloud Shell commands, how to create virtual instances via Compute Engine as well as by writing commands on the Google Cloud Shell, setting up network and HTTP load balancer running in Compute Engine virtual machine. I am glad that finally I got the time and the right opportunity to complete the absolute fundamentals of GCP. And also, thanks to @emily927 for providing us such an amazing opportunity once again! Thanks for helping us learn Google Cloud better! 🙂

Hi Google Cloud Community!

Here's my public profile and my Quest Completion Badge.

This week I completed "Google Cloud Essentials".

This year was an amazing year as I started learning Google Cloud Platform and learnt a lot of skills.

In "Google Cloud Essentials", I learnt the fundamentals of Google Cloud me being a newbie it was a wonderful experience as no pre-requisites were required for this quest. I began learning from getting introduced to GCP Console then about Virtual Machines and further on Kubernetes Engine to Load Balancers.

Every quest in the QwikLabs/CloudSkillsBoost is fun to learn as we get hands-on experience doing things.

Thank you for giving me this learning opportunity and Happy Holidays!
