GCP Innovation Days with AHEAD

In this workshop, attendees can expect to receive a hands-on experience with the Google Cloud Platform. To begin, we’ll review why leading companies trust Google Cloud and the platform-specific capabilities that accelerate your enterprise digital transformation. For a hands-on experience, we’ll walk through a few fundamental Google Cloud Platform services to quickly get your workloads up and running. For most users, these services play a key part of a successful implementation and consumption of cloud services moving forward.

Why Google Cloud Platform

Leading companies across industries choose Google Cloud to solve their toughest challenges with tremendous flexibility and customization. The platform’s commitment to open source, multicloud, and hybrid cloud allows you to use your data and run your apps on any cloud vendor or in any environment. Google Cloud’s machine learning and advanced analytics capabilities help you automate processes, make intelligent predictions, and streamline management and operations.
