An indispensable guide to the newest version of the Google Certified Professional Cloud Architect certification

The newly revised Second Edition of the Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect Study Guide delivers a proven and effective roadmap to success on the latest Professional Cloud Architect accreditation exam from Google. You'll learn the skills you need to excel on the test and in the field, with coverage of every exam objective and competency, including focus areas of the latest exam such as Kubernetes, Anthos, and multi-cloud architectures. The book explores the design, analysis, development, operations, and migration components of the job, with intuitively organized lessons that align with the real-world job responsibilities of a Google Cloud professional and with the PCA exam topics.

This study guide is unique in how it helps you learn to think like an architect: understand requirements, assess constraints, choose appropriate architecture patterns, and consider the operational characteristics of the systems you design. Review questions and practice exams use scenario-based questions like those on the certification exam to build the test taking skills you will need.
