My Recommendation is : Kubernetes in Google Cloud (GKE)

I would recommended Deploy to Kubernetes in Google Cloud, because in today fast environment everyone is looking for fault tolerant and high availability. So anyone can do this lab and understand how to deploy Kubernetes in their environment. Also GKE is fully managed by google.

You can learn how to deploy application new features rolling updates without any downtime, and rollback if there is some bug, and all this is really very helpful in production environment.

According to my views, the one lab which is a 5-star level is - "Getting Started with Cloud Shell and gcloud " under Quest: "Create and Manage Cloud Resources". I feel that way because it taught me very deeply how to use cloud shell to run various commands and manipulate my data and actions on the google cloud console.

It's true that My year 2021 is ending with full of excitement because of the google cloud. I completed "Baseline: Data, ML, AI", I think it is a 5 star lab for me because I want to do my master's education in the field of the Machine Learning and AI and I am so much interested in the research and I enjoyed learning from GCD.

Well my recommended lab is Google Cloud Essentials.

Basics always go a long way and this lab introduces all of us to the basics of GCP and how it works. This lab is essential for anyone who thinks they are new to cloud or maybe just want to get started. So I recommend this lab to everyone 🙂

Its amazing how many opportunities Qwiklabs give us to learn more about the cloud.

Hello Everyone and @emily927

According to my views, the one lab which is a 5-star level is - "Baseline: Infrastructure". This is because after taking this lab i got practical experience through labs that dive into Cloud Storage and other key application services like Stackdriver and Cloud Functions. By taking this quest, I developed valuable skills that are applicable to many Google Cloud initiative

Hey @emily927

According to me, the lab which is 5-star according to me is 'Perform Foundational Data, ML, and AI Tasks in Google Cloud'. In this quest we can learn fundamental 'Cloud Natural Language API' , 'AI&ML' and various Data related knowledge. I feel this quest is amazing and you explore a lot in this. Being a Artificial Intelligence student, I suggest this to all. It taught me basic foundations on AI and ML, which is very useful for my future.

For this week, I learned about the basic tools and services of Google Cloud, and a hands-on experience I can apply to my first Google Cloud project.I earn a badge of Exploring data with locker. link: Exploring data with locker

It's full of joy and I upgrade my skill with help of qwiklab hands on free lab.

thank you very much @emily927 for this events.

pranavdhote2000

In my view the most important lab for me is - "A Tour of Google Cloud Hands-on Labs" . Because it is the first steps for a beginner like me to start learning with Google Cloud by getting hands-on practice with the Cloud Console and to manage Google Cloud Services. You will get to know key features of Google Cloud and it also teaches about the details of the lab environment. In my opinion if you want to start the 🎄🎊🎄Christmas🎄🎊🎄 by learning Google Cloud then this lab is my advice as a 🎁gift for you to start with.

MERRY CHRISTMAS😊🎊!!

I have learned a lot from Qwiklabs. The quest which I found most informative is *Perform Foundational Data, ML, and AI Tasks in Google Cloud*. It comprises of the following labs:

AI Platform, Data Prep, Data Flow, Data Proc, Video Intelligence, Google cloud speech API. Although the other labs were also informative, but I found this one engaging. The lab teaches the technologies which we are using in our daily lives, but we do not know about the backend of such technologies. Through this lab I got a deep insight of such technologies. Thank u @emily927 and Qwiklabs to make us familiar with such technologies.

According to Me the Five Star recommended lab is " Set Up Network and HTTP Load Balancers " under Quest: " Google Cloud Essentials "

which is tricky and challenging for me ... but it make me confident to do any lab or quest to complete. The Proper use of commands and reading instruction carefully is also important to compete the task .. yes, I recommend this lab to all to do once ..

I can give 5-star to the labs which are under "Google cloud Essential" . Moving to more specific, i would like to give 5-star to one which is "kubernetes Engine: Qwik Start" under Google Cloud essential quest because I want to explore more in cloud technology and I dont have any knowledge regarding kubernetes and in this lab, I learn something new like Kubernetes, container, How it works, how to create container using cloud shell or gcloud and etc.

Quest Name : "Google Cloud Essentials".

Recommendation : I would strongly recommend and give 5 stars to the "Google Cloud Essentials" quest.

I think anyone come in with little or no prior cloud knowledge, and come out with practical experience. Even This is the first lab that I did. It brought my interest in the field . Here I learn about Cloud shell, Kubernates Engine, Virtual Machines, Load Balancers and little knowledge to getting started with Google cloud world. It provides hands-on practice with the Google Cloud’s fundamental tools and services that thing I like the most.

I come in with little prior cloud knowledge, and come out with practical experience that I can apply to my first Google Cloud project. Cleared my doubts regarding the basic concepts of GCP also. so many insights from this lab.

In this introductory-level Quest, I will get hands-on practice with the Google Cloud’s fundamental tools and services. Google Cloud Essentials is the recommended first Quest for the Google Cloud learner - I will come in with little or no prior cloud knowledge, and come out with practical experience that I can apply to my first Google Cloud project. From writing Cloud Shell commands and deploying my first virtual machine, to running applications on Kubernetes Engine or with load balancing, Google Cloud Essentials is a prime introduction to the platform’s basic features.

Thanks to giving this great opportunity...!!! 🙂

Quest Name- Google Cloud Essentials

I learned about the Google Cloud Essentials.

I am a beginner in this field. So this was a great opportunity and a greater experience.

I learned about the different features of Google Cloud Console and the different set of commands to use for a project.

It was a wonderful course!

"Google Cloud Essential" is the one quest for which I would award a five-star rating.
This is my very first laboratory.
It piqued my interest in the field and informed me about the subject.
It was a whole different experience.
That training provided a bright, clear picture with detailed directions.

Here is another best use case for quest labs. I've project meeting with client who is in engineering business. I learned that they have extensive use of data science & AI/ML technologies in their product. I'll give five-star to this lab. I am aware of AI/ML concepts but little/no hands on. So I quickly completed the "Perform Foundational Data, ML, and AI Tasks in Google Cloud" quest and now I am confident that I have little better understanding of these products/offering and their usage.

According to me , the 1 lab which is a 5-⭐(Star) level is - Kubernetes Engine: Qwik Start under "Google Cloud Essentials" Quest.

Recently, Under the #QwiklabsExpress Event, In Week-1 I completed my 1st quest "Google Cloud Essentials" and in this quest I got an opportunity to learn about Google Kubernetes Engine(GKE).

In this Quickstart, I deployed a simple web server containerized application to a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. And I learnt how to create a cluster, and how to deploy the application to the cluster so that it can be accessed by users. This lab helped me to do hands-on practice with container creation and application deployment with GKE. It is very useful for beginners as well as professionals who are new to Google Cloud Platform and Google Kubernetes Engine. So because of this reason, I recommended this particular lab.

Please like my comment and thank you so much! 😇😊
