Google Cloud DevOps Engineer Professional Training

Google Cloud DevOps Engineer- Professional Training will allow students to learn how to efficiently perform development operations with fast delivery speed and service reliability. This course is curated by highly skilled industry experts, who will teach, guide and train students with updated course content, mock and practical tests.

Google Cloud DevOps Engineer- Professional is a course designed by Google that allow DevOps engineer to build software delivery pipelines, monitor and deploy services, and learn and manage from them. They oversee overall development operation of software.

There are many benefits of learning GCP DevOps. For example, one can kick-start software development without having to install or set up GCP software. GCP also supports lots of SRE and DevOps making the process faster and delivering products to users in a more reliable fashion. It can scale a single instance to thousands by directly provisioning, configuring and scaling the instances. In addition to that, GCP uses automation to build applications faster and more efficiently. You can also automate process or task such as development, testing and deployment, using GCP services.

There is so much to learn and gain, just by taking a single online training program at Multisoft Virtual Academy. Being an instructor-led course, this online course will help students in developing key skills to become a DevOps expert. This course is carefully curated by certified industry experts for DevOps Engineers and individuals, who wish to learn and clear the Google Cloud DevOps Engineer Professional exam.
