GADS 2020 phase II practice project tasks involves showing competency in using gcloud command line and also providing proof of completed labs. To verify participant's proficient use of google cloud shell, participants were asked to perfrom the below listed tasks.
Professional cloud engineers use a lot of automation and therefore scripting of solutions instead of clicking around in the UI of the web administration. Also using git and version control to store and monitor those scripts is a common use case. Learners are gently guided towards this professional handling using both approaches. The translation of Cloud Console instructions to easy to use commands in the Cloud Shell helps to foster the understanding and knowledge of cloud computing in GCP. Selection of labs shall be based on the curriculum and official study guide of the ACE exam as described by Google on their certification website. Furthermore Qwiklabs hosts Speedrun competitions regularly and promotes them on Twitter and Medium. Without knowledge and use of CLI tools participants cannot compete in those Speedruns.
The Cloud challenge is divided in two parts: Complete of 10-15 selected hands-on labs on Qwiklabs and submitting proof of such per screenshot based on the email received. “Translation” of 2-3 selected labs from Console instructions to 100% command line instructions.
Cloud learners are requested to complete the requested tasks and then finally submit their public repository on Github via Google Forms back to us.
The result of both challenges shall be documented in a Github repository How to get started with Github is an available course to learners via the Associate Cloud Engineer Foundational Deep Dive Channel (2020) Submit the documented github repo to the GADS Team here - bit.ly/GADSPracticeProjectSubmission
