Google cloud architect

Any google certified cloud architects here ?? Which coursera course we need to start to learn Google cloud ?? I am an aws certified and would like to learn about Google cloud ...

It's called Architecting with Google cloud platform and it comprises of 4 individual courses . Cost is $320. I have met people who failed the GCP cert after just doing the coursera course so it is not enough . I would appreciate people who have passed the GCP to compile a list of what actually worked for successfull candidates

Don't underestimate the coursera course either. It is a great way to get started with GCP

After coursera, find a good legit practice exam and keep taking till you average better than 90%. For msft ones, transcender's pretty good. Not sure about Google practice exams

@OP, what's your end game? Just learning and sharpening skills? Trying to build out enterprise tech in GCP? Trying to apply at a FANG company? I think the answer would help guide feedback.

@ikrl? , just learning and trying to determine how each one works and where each one will fit and then may be try a job in FANG :)

I don't have personal experience with the courses. But I've found that a couple well written books, some self starter gumption, and a few hours each weekend working on implementing real world problems to be the best source for getting real experience in a cloud platform. With that said... probably not the best way to pass a test.

can you share the reading list? when you say implementing real world problems - are these practice projects?

What's the N in FANG?

I thought so. I know Microsoft isn't the coolest company but I'm surprised they're not even in the list.
