We're holding casual study sessions on Cloud Hero Labs, to prepare for Cloud Next Extended!

Cloud Next is Google's annual cloud computing event, and this year will be 9 weeks long, with webinars and labs released weekly.

Cloud Hero labs are guided exercises on Qwiklabs where you get hands-on experience with cloud services. 

The theme this week is Data Management and Databases. Below are some of the labs that will be available. The full list of available labs will be announced on Tuesday, August 18th.

Introductory Data Labs

• Data Catalog: Qwik Start
• Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL: Qwik Start
  
• Cloud Spanner: Qwik Start
  

Data Engineering Labs

• ETL Processing on Google Cloud Using Dataflow and BigQuery
• Creating a Data Transformation Pipeline with Cloud Dataprep
• Predict Housing Prices with Tensorflow and AI Platform
  
• Cloud Composer: Copying BigQuery Tables Across Different Locations
  
• Building an IoT Analytics Pipeline on Google Cloud Platform

Please indicate which labs you are interested in when you RSVP: we will then pick two labs to go through together during the session.

The aim of the casual study sessions is so that interested people can go through labs together. We will give a short introduction to the chosen labs, then people will go through their desired labs at their own pace. If you bump into questions, just ask in the chat. We are here to learn together!

Fully completing labs will give you badges and skill badges that you can show off on LinkedIn!
