After setting the stage in our info session, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and explore the essentials that every cloud engineer needs to know. In this session, we’ll break down the core concepts of GCP, Infrastructure as Code, and Terraform, setting you up for everything that comes in the series.

Our facilitator is a seasoned Devops Engineer with vast experience managing infrastructure at scale: rest assured you're in good hands.

Here’s what’s in store:

• 🌍 GCP Crash Course: Get familiar with Google Cloud’s key services and console.

• ⚙️ Understanding IaC: What Infrastructure as Code really is — and why it’s a game-changer.
