Welcome to the third course of the "Networking in Google Cloud" series: Network Architecture! In this course, you will explore the fundamentals of designing efficient and scalable network architectures within Google Cloud. In the first module, Introduction to Network Architecture, we'll start by introducing you to the core components and concepts of network architecture, including subnets, routes, firewalls, and load balancing. Then in the second module, network topologies, we'll dive into various network topologies commonly used in Google Cloud, discussing their strengths, and weaknesses.

<h2>Plan Networks That Scale</h2>The architecture decisions you make early on shape the security, performance, and cost of everything you build later. This third course in the Networking in Google Cloud series shows you how to design efficient, scalable network architectures in Google Cloud.<br><br><h2>Explore Core Components and Topologies</h2>You’ll start with the core components of network architecture, including subnets, routes, firewalls, and load balancing. Then you’ll compare the network topologies most commonly used in Google Cloud, weighing their strengths and weaknesses, and implement a hub-and-spoke topology yourself.<br><br><h2>Visualize, Troubleshoot, and Optimize</h2>In the final part of the course, you’ll learn to visualize, troubleshoot, and optimize Google Cloud networks, and apply best practices for designing and managing networks in cloud-only, multicloud, and hybrid environments. By the end, you’ll be able to analyze the key trade-offs in a network design and choose an architecture that balances scalability, security, performance, and cost.
