An indispensable guide to the newest version of the Google Certified
Professional Cloud Architect certification
The newly revised Second Edition of the Google Cloud Certified
Professional Cloud Architect Study Guide delivers a proven and
effective roadmap to success on the latest Professional Cloud Architect
accreditation exam from Google. You'll learn the skills you need to
excel on the test and in the field, with coverage of every exam
objective and competency, including focus areas of the latest exam such
as Kubernetes, Anthos, and multi-cloud architectures. The book explores
the design, analysis, development, operations, and migration components
of the job, with intuitively organized lessons that align with the
real-world job responsibilities of a Google Cloud professional and with
the PCA exam topics. Architects need more than the ability to recall
facts about cloud services, they need to be able to reason about design
decisions. This study guide is unique in how it helps you learn to think
like an architect: understand requirements, assess constraints, choose
appropriate architecture patterns, and consider the operational
characteristics of the systems you design. Review questions and practice
exams use scenario-based questions like those on the certification exam
to build the test taking skills you will need.
In addition to comprehensive material on compute resources, storage
systems, networks, security, legal and regulatory compliance,
reliability design, technical and business processes, and more, you'll
get:
- The chance to begin or advance your career as an in-demand Google
Cloud IT professional
- Invaluable opportunities to develop and practice the skills you'll
need as a Google Cloud Architect
- Access to the Sybex online learning center, with chapter review
questions, full-length practice exams, hundreds of electronic
flashcards, and a glossary of key terms
The ideal resource for anyone preparing for the Professional Cloud
Architect certification from Google, Google Cloud Certified
Professional Cloud Architect Study Guide, 2nd Edition is also a
must-read resource for aspiring and practicing cloud professionals
seeking to expand or improve their technical skillset and improve their
