A Tour of Google Cloud Hands-on Labs

emily927 · 12-10-2021 07:21 AM

📣 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 🙂🎄

PS: Gift reveal later this week!

#QwiklabsExpress!

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

I am very happy and excited to tell that today I just completed "Networking in Google Cloud" Quest and earned the badge.

In this Quest, I learnt about the User Authentication (how to restrict access selected authenticated users with Identity-Aware Proxy), how to create Multiple VPC Networks and Perform Control Accessing, HTTP Load balancer and Internal Load Balancer and finally completed the lab challenge, Google Cloud Packet Mirroring with OpenSource IDS.

Once again Thanks to Google Cloud for launching the #QwiklabsExpress! Hoping to get dm asap, excited for the prize.

Thanks to all!

Hello everyone,I learnt Networking in Google Cloud which is a principle theme of cloud computing. It underlines the structure of Google Cloud and it's what connects all your resources and services to one another. For doing hands-on practice with specialized tools for developing mature networks this quest is best suitable for understanding concepts such as load balancers, ins and outs of VPCs with a practical exposure. Also I would recommend you all to do Build and Secure Networks in Google Cloud(https://google.qwiklabs.com/quests/128) for more knowledge.

Here is my badge for Networking in Google Cloud quest :- (https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/public_profiles/35c74393-e8ff-4d5d-bf3c-be44d856d74f/badges/1611...)

According to my view "A Tour of Google Cloud Hands-on Labs" under the quest "Create and Manage Cloud Resources" here we learn how to Write google cloud commands and use Cloud Shell, how to create and deploy virtual machines in Compute Engine, how to run containerized applications on Google Kubernetes Engine and how to do configure network and HTTP load balancers on the google cloud console.

I have learned Flutter development and it was great experience because of lab and best content. I want to learn flutter development but I am not able to find plateform, where I can learn and practice at the same time but #Qwiklabs provide both.

I want to thank the team of #QwiklabsExpress for providing great learning experience.

I got very much interested in Google Clouds and Load Balancers through QwikLabs. I feel extremely lucky for gaining such knowledge and experience from QwikLabs. In the beginning of this course, I was very anxious what if I cant do. Then, after completing all the labs, I feel that it is extremely easy and the way the steps are explained is awesome. Anyone can easily understand it. So, finally, I have completed the lab on Google Cloud Essentials.

I have learn many learn this lab like basic features of BigQuery: write SQL queries, create and manage database tables in Cloud SQL, query public tables, and load sample data into BigQuery, troubleshoot common Syntax errors with the Query Validator, use Google Apps Script, create a chart in Google Sheets, and export that data to Google Slides, and create reports in Google Data Studio by connecting to BigQuery data. So above is the reason I like to do this lab so much .

Click here for my Skills Boost profile showing my new badge:- https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/public_profiles/7c332806-826d-4443-af22-95e0f1ca0153For this week I learned Google Cloud’s fundamental tools and services, and some practical experience that I can apply to my first Google Cloud project like writing Cloud Shell commands and deploying my first virtual machine, running applications on Kubernetes Engine, and even with load balancing. I loved using Google Kubernetes Engine as it provides a managed environment for deploying, managing, and scaling my containerized applications using Google infrastructure and I learned how to deploy a containerized application with Kubernetes Engine.Earning this badge cleared my doubts regarding the basic concepts of GCP. In this I got hands-on lab experience in creating and managing VM Instances.
