All aboard the #QwiklabsExpress!

📣 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…

  1. Complete a Google Cloud skill badge or quest this week (badge must be dated between now and Dec. 18, no exceptions). 
  2. 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: 
    1. A link to your Skills Boost profile showing your new badge (sorry, badges earned outside the challenge timeline don’t qualify!)
    2. 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

  1. What if I earn multiple badges?
    1. Great! You can post multiple badges if you like but only one post is eligible. 

  2. Where do I post my comment?
    1. Reply to this post. Any posts outside of this thread will not be considered. 

  3. What if I am #51?
    1. You missed this one but never fear. Stay tuned for next week’s challenge!

  4. What if I don’t want to post a link to my Skills Boost profile?
    1. 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. 

  5. What if I don’t want to post in the GCC?
    1. 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. 

  6. What if I have a question about the gift?
    1. 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 🙂🎄

Thank you Google Cloud and Qwiklabs for the opportunity. 

I have no prior Knowledge in cloud computing or google cloud, yet I was able to follow along and learn about google cloud platform console. Using the google cloud features I created a virtual machine with cloud console, gcloud command line and also learned about cloud shell. I was able to deploy application using Kubernetes Engine and set up Network and HTTP load balancers to distribute the traffic in virtual machines.
