Professional Cloud Architect Part 1: Infra & Network

The Professional Cloud Architect curriculum has been split into two targeted parts to provide a more focused learning experience. This specialization (Part 1) has been updated to prioritize deep-dive infrastructure and networking. We have replaced general networking overviews with three specialized courses covering Network Architecture, Hybrid/Multicloud, and the Network Intelligence Center. Implementation-heavy topics like GKE and specific exam-prep modules have been moved to Part 2 to ensure a logical progression from architectural design to operational engineering. This is Part 1 of a two-part series designed to prepare you for the Professional Cloud Architect certification. Part 1 focuses on the design and architecture of infrastructure and global networks, while Part 2 covers application modernization, observability, and final exam preparation. Please note that taking both parts is not required for general learning; however, completing both is highly recommended if you are planning on taking the Professional Cloud Architect certification exam.
