Manage Security and Networking

This learning path is part of the Migrate, Modernize and Build (Infra) Priority Play. It provides a technical foundation for designing production-grade Google Cloud environments. The path begins by establishing core infrastructure skills, progressing from essential VPC design and IP address planning to complex, enterprise-scale routing and global load balancing. Learners will master advanced architectural patterns, including Shared VPC for network segregation and hybrid connectivity strategies that seamlessly integrate on-premises data centers with cloud resources.

Crucially, the path embeds a defense-in-depth methodology into every layer of the stack. Partners will learn to implement Zero Trust access models using Identity-Aware Proxy to secure administrative workflows without public IPs, while deploying robust perimeter defenses through hierarchical firewall policies. The journey culminates in operational security using Security Command Center for continuous threat detection, vulnerability management, and compliance auditing.
