About This Course

Learn about object storage - one of the key technologies when either designing a cloud-native service or migrating existing services into the cloud.

This is the first proper run-through of major hyperscaler Google Cloud Platform's Cloud Storage and it's features.

You will learn how to create buckets and edit their metadata, upload and download objects in different ways, change storage tiers, select locations, use encryption, access control with iam and/or acls, lifecycle management rules, retention policies and object holds, how to monitor GCS and how to calculate the costs of all operations.

All Cloud Storage features are discussed in this course, including hands-on demonstrations using both the web console and gsutil CLI tool. SDKs and APIs are also discussed for the more developer-minded.

Laid-back Q&A sessions explain the more difficult aspects in an easily understandable way.

You will be following our pedagogically trained instructors who are subject matter expert with continuous hands-on experience of the products they teach.

This course is not designed to take you through a certification exam, but rather tells you everything you need to know about a particular product.

You can use the course to either learn about Cloud Storage feature by feature, going along with the videos - or use it as a reference when trying to find information about the specific feature or how it is used.

Extensive links to the original Google Cloud Storage documentation are provided in case more information is needed.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
