Google Cloud Administrator Basic Training

Does your institution run Google Cloud (GCP)? Do you have enough administrators to manage it effectively, or are you turning away requests due to a lack of expertise? Managing projects and applications in GCP requires a foundational understanding of the platform, but administering an entire GCP organization demands a different and specialized skill set.

This workshop focuses on the critical administrative aspects of Google Cloud, including folder structure, organizational policies, project provisioning, role management, billing, credit management, and more. These are all topics often missing from traditional learning paths and certification courses.

Participants will gain hands-on experience with key GCP management tools and learn best practices for configuring and maintaining their institution’s Google Cloud environment. This training will equip attendees with the knowledge to make informed decisions, optimize cloud governance, and enable institutional users to leverage GCP effectively.
