1. 01

   Digital Transformation with Google Cloud

   This module explains why organizations move to the cloud and what digital transformation really means, then grounds you in the core economics and concepts the Cloud Digital Leader exam expects: cloud versus on-premises, the Google Cloud value proposition, IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, CapEx versus OpEx, total cost of ownership, and the consumption model. You will also learn the four deployment models (public, private, hybrid, and multicloud) so you can match each to a business need. A recurring example of a growing company moving to Google Cloud ties every idea to a real decision.
