About this course
Google Cloud Load Balancer is a fully distributed, software-defined managed service that offers a single IP address to serve as the front end, and automatic intelligent autoscaling of the back end. This means you don't need to manage physical load balancing infrastructure. In this course, you'll learn about Google Cloud Load Balancer, how to identify the key components and choose which one is best for your implementation, and how to manage access control using Identity and Access Management. You'll also explore how to run and scale services behind internal and external IP addresses, use a network load balancer to distribute traffic, distribute SSL and TCP traffic, and distribute traffic to applications running on back-end instances. This course is one of a collection of courses that prepares learners for the Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer certification.
