Google Cloud for AI & Application Developers: Beginners

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence

I have designed this course, Google Cloud for AI & Application Developers for Beginners, which provides a hands-on, practical introduction to building intelligent cloud applications using Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Designed specifically for beginner developers, it guides you step-by-step through core GCP services, serverless deployment, event-driven architectures, and AI integration.

You will begin by exploring the Google Cloud Console, understanding projects, billing, free tier resources, and Identity and Access Management (IAM). From there, you will deploy containerized applications using Cloud Run — learning how to build scalable services without managing servers.

Next, you will implement event-driven architectures using Pub/Sub, enabling asynchronous communication between services. You’ll understand how modern cloud systems achieve scalability, decoupling, and reliability using messaging patterns.

In the final modules, you will work with Vertex AI to interact with AI models, test prompts, and deploy endpoints that integrate AI capabilities directly into your applications. By combining Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, and Vertex AI, you will build a fully functional AI-powered microservice using modular design principles and best practices.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Confidently navigate the Google Cloud Platform
• Deploy and manage serverless applications using Cloud Run
• Design event-driven systems using Pub/Sub
• Integrate AI capabilities into real applications using Vertex AI
• Apply cloud architecture best practices for scalability and reliability

This course equips aspiring developers with practical, real-world skills to confidently begin their journey into modern cloud and AI development.
