Networking in Google Cloud Introduction

1. Networking in Google Cloud Introduction

Welcome to the fifth course of the Networking in Google Cloud course series, Load Balancing. In this course, we will cover the topics listed on the screen. We’ll begin with an overview of Google Cloud load balancing, and continue with a discussion of hybrid load balancing - in other words, load balancing between Google Cloud, other public clouds, and on-premises environments. We’ll follow with a discussion of traffic management, which provides enhanced features to route traffic based on criteria that you specify. After that, you’ll apply what you’ve learned in a traffic management lab exercise. Next, we’ll discuss using internal Network Load Balancers as next hops, including benefits, caveats, and some use cases. We’ll continue by discussing how to use the Google global edge network to serve content closer to users with the Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN), and discuss the benefit of using Google Cloud Armor with Cloud CDN to provide a secure and optimized web experience. We’ll follow that with a lab exercise. Finally, we’ll cover content caching and share some strategies to optimize load balancing, and end with a brief quiz. Let’s get started!
