Description of the training: Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer (ACE) Training Course – Deploy and Operate Solutions on Google Cloud
This training prepares you for the Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer certification, the technical entry point into the Google Cloud ecosystem. In a small group of 1 to 3 participants, you learn to deploy applications, monitor operations and administer cloud solutions day to day: managing projects and access (IAM), provisioning compute, storage and network resources, and operating from the console and the gcloud command line.
To go further, explore our Google Cloud Platform GCP100B – Big Data & Machine Learning Fundamentals, Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect (PCA) and Google Cloud Digital Leader (CDL) training courses.
Good to know
Sessions are guaranteed from a single registrant (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview tailors the content to the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges). Assessment: the trainer evaluates progress through quizzes, practical scenarios and hands-on work. A certificate of completion is issued at the end of the training.
Objectives of the training: Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer (ACE) Training Course – Deploy and Operate Solutions on Google Cloud
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Set up a Google Cloud environment: projects, billing, IAM, quotas and APIs.
- Deploy compute resources (Compute Engine, instances, managed groups) and containers (Google Kubernetes Engine).
- Implement appropriate storage: Cloud Storage, persistent disks, Cloud SQL and managed databases.
- Configure networking: VPC, subnets, firewall rules, load balancing.
- Monitor and operate solutions with Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging and dashboards.
- Use the console, the gcloud SDK and Cloud Shell effectively day to day.
Prerequisites of the training: Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer (ACE) Training Course – Deploy and Operate Solutions on Google Cloud
- Basics of system administration (Linux or Windows) and the command line.
- Networking notions (IP, DNS, firewall) and virtualisation.
- Initial exposure to the cloud (GCP100B or equivalent) is a plus.
- A preliminary interview lets us adapt the content to each participant’s profile and objectives.

FAQ
Who is the Associate Cloud Engineer training for?
It is intended for system administrators, technicians and infrastructure engineers wanting to operate on Google Cloud, as well as developers required to deploy and run applications on GCP. It is also the recommended first certification to validate technical skills on the platform.
What are the prerequisites?
It is recommended to know the basics of system administration (Linux or Windows) and the command line, along with notions of networking and virtualisation. Initial cloud exposure (GCP100B training or equivalent) is a plus, but no in-depth Google Cloud experience is required.
Does the training prepare for the certification exam?
Yes. The programme covers all the domains of the Associate Cloud Engineer exam and ends with a dedicated preparation module: domain review, scenario-based questions and a synthesis lab. The training remains focused on operational practice, beyond just passing the exam.
Is a Google Cloud environment provided during the training?
Yes, a Google Cloud working environment is made available for the entire duration of the labs. No personal account is required.
How long is the training?
