Welcome to the Networking in Google Cloud: Routing and Addressing course.

Networking in Google Cloud Introduction

Welcome to Networking in Google Cloud

In this module, we will explore foundational elements that guide traffic through the Google Cloud network. We'll start with the building blocks: routing, IPv4, and BYOIP. We'll also explore Cloud DNS.

Network Routing and Addressing in Google Cloud

In this module, we’ll discuss some general methods of accessing Google and other services privately by using internal IP addresses. Then, we will cover each of the methods: Private Google Access, Private Service Connect, private services access and Cloud NAT. After that, you will try what you learned in a Cloud NAT lab exercise.

Course Resources

Welcome to the second course in the networking and Google Cloud series routing and addressing. In this course, we'll cover the central routing and addressing concepts that are relevant to Google Cloud's networking capabilities. Module one will lay the foundation by exploring network routing and addressing in Google Cloud, covering key building blocks such as routing IPv4, bringing your own IP addresses and setting up cloud DNS. In Module two will shift our focus to private connection options, exploring use cases and methods for accessing Google and other services privately using internal IP addresses. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid grasp of how to effectively route and address your network traffic within Google Cloud.

<h2>Route and Address Traffic in Google Cloud</h2>Getting traffic to the right place, securely and predictably, is at the heart of every cloud network. This second course in the Networking in Google Cloud series builds on the Fundamentals course and focuses on the routing and addressing concepts behind Google Cloud’s networking capabilities.<br><br><h2>Work With IP Addresses, Routes, Cloud DNS, and NAT</h2>You’ll begin with the key building blocks: IP addressing, subnets, route tables, and firewall rules, plus how to bring your own IP addresses (BYOIP) to Google Cloud. You’ll then configure and manage Cloud DNS, including private and managed zones, and use NAT rules to give resources secure outbound access without exposing them to the internet.<br><br><h2>Connect Privately to Google and Other Services</h2>The second half of the course covers private connectivity. You’ll compare the options for reaching Google APIs and other services using internal IP addresses and learn when each one fits. By the end, you’ll be able to control traffic flow with routes, resolve domain names reliably, and choose the right private connection option for your workloads.
