Overview

Case prompts mirror the professional cloud architect style: you read a brief, sketch an approach, then compare against a reference rationale. We stress reliability, security, and operational tooling rather than memorizing SKUs.

What is included

  • Case library with graded sample answers
  • Dataflow vs. Dataproc decision drills
  • IAM condition exercises
  • Multi-region failover tabletop
  • SRE-style error budget discussion prompts
  • Cost estimation worksheets without ticker-style dashboards
  • Final capstone presentation to mentors

Outcomes you can describe

  • Defend a multi-region design in under fifteen minutes
  • Select data services using latency and consistency needs
  • Identify where managed services reduce toil for a given brief

FAQ

GCP credits?

We include a modest shared credit pool for labs; heavy personal experimentation is self-funded.

Prerequisite skills?

Comfortable with one scripting language and basic networking vocabulary.

What is out of scope?

Machine learning model tuning and data science pipelines beyond architect-level discussion.
