About

This course is really important to understand how Google Cloud is managing the resources and it plays an important role for the Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect. As a recommendation I would say that you should follow the Exam guide and perform the Practice exam that Google offers to cover all the topics and for being ready for the exam.

Experience

In my experience, I found the exam tougher than I was expecting. In an overall, the questions were introducing you in a real scenario where you had to know how to apply your knowledge for each case. The topics mentioned in the Exam guide were totally covered. It is true that I had already previous knowledge on the platform that made all my preparation much easier but if you follow the guides and courses you should be able to pass the exam. Of course it is also important to do labs and read the documentation that make you understand better the environment and how Google handle every resource. The documentation is comprehensive and extensive where you can clarify any doubt that you may have. When you finish your exam, you will get an overall result just saying if you passed it or failed it and in the following days Google will contact you with an official email.

Preparation

It took me around 4 weeks to prepare the exam and to cover every aspect of the certification. Below you can find a list of courses that helped me on my preparation for the certification.
