Google Cloud Hands-on Labs are interactive learning modules that enable individuals to explore and experiment with Google Cloud services at their own convenience. These are Self Paced labs which provide hands-on experience, allowing users to practice and build skills in a sandbox environment without the need for additional infrastructure or resources.

In our course, we have created a module called "Exposure to Cloud Applications on Google Cloud." This module offers you access to four labs that will help you learn and explore various aspects of Google Cloud. Here are the labs included:
Lab 1: Introduction to SQL for BigQuery and Cloud SQL
Lab 2: Multiple VPC Networks
Lab 3: Hosting a Web App on Google Cloud Using Compute Engine 
Lab 4: Networking 101 

The best part is that you will be able to access and learn from these labs on the actual Google Cloud environment. This hands-on experience will help you gain practical knowledge and skills in working with Google Cloud services.

Project 4: Hosting Web Applications and Performance Monitoring

Scenario: The OsCrop Corporation wants to build a highly available web application. As it lacks the team to manage the environment, it is exploring the option of Azure PaaS (Web Apps) for its web hosting. The user pattern for this application is sporadic in nature; it can expect a spike in traffic at any moment. OsCrop’s management is looking to utilize Azure Auto Scaling capabilities.

OsCrop’s management is also looking to have a proper monitoring mechanism to keep an eye on the details of application performance. To achieve this, the team has been tasked to integrate application insights as well.

Goals of the Project: 

• Create Azure Web Apps in US East regions
• Enable Autoscaling for web apps
• Deploy sample application from Visual Studio with application insights enabled
• Set monitoring on Azure application insight

Project 5: Provision Dev Environment & Secure Azure Web Applications

Scenario:  The Oscrop Corporation’s management is looking to use Azure as their development platform for the new.Net MVC application they are building. They have identified Visual Studio 2017 as their development framework. They are looking to test Azure Virtual machine to host the development editor. You have been given the task of validating the Community edition of Visual Studio 2017 on Azure VM. As Oscrop’s development team is in Eastern US, they are exploring this as the region for this deployment.

The operations team at Oscrop is looking to offload the application's authentication to Azure AD. Any user who is part of an Active directory should be allowed to log in to the application. They want you to validate this using a sample MVC application.

Goals of the Project:

• Create a Virtual Network and Resource Container
• Create the Development Virtual machine
• Configure the Virtual machine for development
• Create Azure AD for application authentication

Project 6:  Create two Amazon S3 Buckets

Scenario: Create two Amazon S3 Buckets in Mumbai region. Bucket Names will be “testoct28” and “testoct28log”. After creating both the buckets, upload any sample file to the bucket “testoct28”. Then enable Logging in for the bucket “testoct28”. Ensure that log is saved in the bucket name “testoct28log”; also enable the versioning in the bucket “testoct28”. Then Enable the Transfer Acceleration in the Bucket “testoct28”.

Goals of the Project:

• Create an Amazon S3 Bucket Name "testoct28" in Mumbai Region
• Create an Amazon S3 Bucket Name "testoct28log" in Mumbai Region
• Upload sample file to testoct28 bucket
• Enable Logging in for bucket "testoct28"
• The log should be saved in bucket "testoct28log"
• Enable Versioning in the bucket "testoct28"
• Enable Transfer Acceleration in bucket "testoct28"
