Hands-on: Learn to deploy modern applications on a Hybrid Cloud architecture with Google Cloud, VMs and DevOps tools
Description
Deploy Ghost CMS blog application on Google Kubernetes Engine and its backend — MySQL server– on a virtual machine hosted on your personal computer. This virtual machine will simulate an OnPrem data center.
Technical details:
- Your OnPrem environment will connect to a Google Cloud network using strongSwan VPN and Google VPN gateway to establish a Site-to-Site VPN connection.
- You will be exposed to modern DevOps tools and technologies like Docker, Helm, Kubernetes, Nginx, Virtual Machines, DNS, VPC, Subnets, Firewalls, GitHub, cli etc. and ultimately understand the role each of them play in a modern cloud infrastructure.
- Since this is a Hybrid Cloud course, you will also be exposed to OnPrem setups as well — which heavily rely on Linux administrations. We will learn how to install apps, like strongSwan VPN and MySQL server, on Ubuntu and most importantly also learn how to configure them.
- Nginx will also be deployed on the Google Kubernetes Cluster using helm, and will be used as a reverse proxy to expose the blog application to the internet. Once all the resources have been successfully deployed, you will use a free DNS provider to create a hostname and generate an SSL certificate. You will then create an A record to resolve your application’s hostname to the nginx provided external IP address and expose your Blog to the World!
At the end of each section you will be quizzed on the concepts which were introduced to reinforce what you learned. Ultimately, after completing this course, you would be able to architect and deploy modern applications in a Hybrid Cloud environment regardless of which cloud provider you choose.
Who this course is for:
- IT professionals, on any level, who want to make a switch to the cloud
- Students who want an edge to land a dream cloud engineering job
- Cloud engineers who want a deeper understanding of Hybrid Cloud
