Why Google Cloud Platform?
According to Global Knowledge’s Survey for 2020 a GCP Cloud Architect had the highest salary at over $179,000. Getting Google Cloud Certified or even just learning more can add value to your career earnings.
DevOps is an ever in demand skillset that companies and government entities are now clearly in need of. Passing the Google Cloud Professional DevOps Engineer exam will distinguish you as a leader in this constantly evolving area of development.
Before discussing my insight into the exam guide here is the official blurb from Google Cloud about what a Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer is about. Ill will follow up with my thoughts about the exam after the following.
They are skilled at using Google Cloud Platform to build software delivery pipelines, deploy and monitor services, and manage and learn from incidents.
What this means is that Google takes a very analytical approach to deploying applications. You will need to know the Google way which incorporates Site Recovery Engineering Aspects. This I can assure will challenge you on the exam if you have not read the Google SRE Workbook for example.

In this section it really is about how Google handles SRE and knowing how to communicate between your team members. With SRE specifically it comes down to knowing how Google defines Services Level Objectives for example. Overall, I think this section of the objectives are the least technical on the exam.
This Section is mainly focused on what it suggests around CI/CD pipelines. This section focuses not only on CI/CD best practices but how to deploy a secure pipeline on Google Cloud. The section revolves around how to use Deployment Manager, Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Source Repositories, Cloud Build and Container Registry with some coverage with third party DevOps tools.
This Section is really focused on Stackdriver capabilities and how to aggregate logs, alerts and using metrics to provide a highly available Google Cloud DevOps Service. I believe this will be the hardest section for developers for example since this will likely be higher learning curve for them.
This section is all about Google Stackdriver which at the time of writing is being rebranded to Google Operations. The exam at the time of writing is going to refer to Stackdriver. The section focuses on monitoring, logging and just about everything you can do with Stackdriver.
This section is focused on handling failures, outages and performance issues in accordance with best practices.
