Automating Infrastructure Deployment Using Google Cloud Deployment Manager

At the end of this course, you will have the knowledge and confidence to use Google’s Deployment Manager to programmatically create and provision resources to run your applications on the GCP

Deployments can be thought of as directed-acyclic graphs where these graphs can be used to model dependencies between resources

Finally, you will study how you can use templates from the Deployment Manager Marketplace and also configure templates to define the architecture for a load-balanced applications

First, you will study the basic concepts and terms used in the Deployment Manager

Next, you will learn how you can use templates to parameterize your infrastructure deployments

This will involve the use of composite types registered with the Type Registry and specifying containers to run on your provisioned resources

You will also work with making your template reuse more robust by specifying schemas which are rules that govern template usage

You will learn how to configure these dependencies using references in your deployment specifications

You will learn the conceptual and practical aspects of working with Cloud Deployment Manager to configure complex GCP architectures in a repeatable and verifiable manner

You’ll bring all these components together to provision a deployment for a Compute Engine virtual machine instance

You’ll understand what configurations, resources, schemas, templates, manifests, and deployments are and how they fit together to allow you to programmatically create and manage your deployments
