Security is an important consideration in modern computing environments. In the traditional datacenter or in the cloud, knowing that the right people gain access to the right resources is the goal of Identity and Access Management (IAM) services. Google Cloud has a sophisticated Identity and Access Management (IAM) service that you will get to practice with, hands-on. This week's hands-on labs: Cloud IAM: Qwik Start Google Cloud IAM unifies access control for Cloud Platform services into a single system to present a consistent set of operations. Watch the short video Manage Access Control with Google Cloud IAM. IAM Custom Roles Cloud IAM provides the right tools to manage resource permissions with minimum fuss and high automation. You don't directly grant users permissions. Instead, you grant them roles, which bundle one or more permissions. This allows you to map job functions within your company to groups and roles. You'll work through Google Cloud labs to get some hands-on experience and when you complete each quest, you earn a badge for your LinkedIn! With the help of great volunteers, Jeff Williams (Google Tech Lead - UC Berkeley) and Elaine Chan (CS - Western Michigan University) lead the group through weekly events using Qwiklabs to help you learn more about Cloud Computing and running your projects on Google servers in the cloud. Invite a friend who could benefit, and we'll be happy to help them also get access to qwiklabs.com and to help them get started Don't miss out on the fun on Wednesdays as we learn cloud computing skills, one week at a time, with a goal of helping you level up!
