This is a slightly shortened version of our regular Google Cloud Fundamentals: Core Infrastructure class that we periodically offer for free to our customer base. While this class does include hands-on labs, they are only available during the duration of class. Furthermore, these classes are run more “webinar-style” to accommodate a much larger audience.
