This week, all the focus is on the new season of the Skills Boost Arcade—and it’s full of fresh challenges to build your cloud skills.
July is all about taking your cloud journey further—with hands-on labs that help you set up infrastructure, secure your apps, deploy with confidence, and run production-grade systems. No matter where you’re starting from, this month’s levels are designed to help you grow.
The Arcade Basecamp – July 2025
Welcome to Basecamp! Think of this as your training ground, where each lab helps you get better at building and running apps on Google Cloud. Complete labs, earn badges, and work your way toward Google Cloud credentials that show what you’re capable of.
Level 1: Core Infrastructure and Security
Start by laying the groundwork—create virtual machines, set up SQL Server, and move data with ease. Once your app is up and running, it’s time to secure it. You’ll lock down storage buckets, protect your setup with Cloud Armor, and run vulnerability scans. This level helps you build a solid, secure foundation—and yes, there’s a credential waiting at the end.
Level 2: Modern Application Deployment
This is where you shift gears and start building the way modern apps are built. Get hands-on with Kubernetes, Cloud Run, and Cloud Deploy. You’ll learn how to roll out updates smoothly, scale with confidence, and automate processes so your team can move faster. Finish strong and earn a credential that shows you're ready for real-world app delivery.
Level 3: Advanced App Operations
Things get serious here—but in a good way. This level is about running your apps like a pro. You’ll handle advanced rollouts, manage traffic smartly, and design systems that stay reliable even when demand spikes. If you’re ready to take ownership of app performance at scale, this is your moment. Another Google Cloud credential is up for grabs once you’re through.
That’s what’s happening on the Skills Boost Arcade this July.
Explore the levels, keep earning those badges, and stay on track toward your next big milestone.
You’re not just learning anymore—you’re building.
See You In The Cloud!
