I had the opportunity to attend an eight-hour virtual, live training session taught by Adam Vincent. The session focused on various computing and storage services offered by Google Cloud, including Google App Engine, Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, Google Cloud Storage, Google Cloud SQL, and BigQuery. Through a combination of lectures, demos, and hands-on labs, I gained an overview of these services and their features, enabling me to incorporate cloud-based solutions into my business strategies. I completed five labs during the session, and I must say it was a great learning experience. In the first lab, I used Google Cloud Marketplace to deploy a LAMP stack on a Compute Engine instance. The Bitnami LAMP Stack provided a complete web development environment for Linux that could be launched in one click. It was fascinating to see how quickly and easily the deployment was done. The second lab involved creating an auto-mode VPC network with firewall rules and two VM instances. I explored the connectivity for the VM instances, and it gave me a deeper understanding of networking concepts in Google Cloud. In the third lab, I created a Cloud Storage bucket and placed an image in it. I also configured an application running in Compute Engine to use a database managed by Cloud SQL. It was challenging yet exciting to configure a web server with PHP and set it up to reference the image in the Cloud Storage bucket. In the fourth lab, I created a Google Kubernetes Engine cluster containing several containers, each containing a web server. I placed a load balancer in front of the cluster and viewed its contents. It was amazing to see how the cluster automatically scaled as the load increased. Finally, in the fifth lab, I built a simple containerized application image and deployed it to Cloud Run. The lab was an excellent opportunity to understand how containers work and how they can be deployed to the cloud. The video attached is an excerpt from when I configured a Kubernetes cluster in Kubernetes Engine, populated it with several pods containing an application, exposed the application, and scaled it. It was a challenging yet rewarding experience. I am grateful for the knowledge and skills gained from this training and look forward to applying them to my future projects. #linux #kubernetes #cloud #google #webdevelopment #database #computing #googlecloudcertified #googlecloudcertified #googledevelopers

Recently, I had the opportunity to assist in teaching a cybersecurity class at ReDI School of Digital Integration. The class covered Linux concepts and provided students with a hands-on walkthrough of setting up their own virtual machines using VirtualBox or VMware Workstation Player. We also introduced the students to Kali Linux and how to navigate using Linux commands. The students were engaged and enthusiastic about learning, asking questions and sharing their thoughts throughout the class. They were fascinated to learn about various Linux distributions and how to identify vulnerabilities using Linux tools. We also covered Metasploitable, a vulnerable Linux machine that helped students understand how hackers exploit vulnerabilities and gain unauthorized access to systems. The class had a significant impact on the students, as they developed practical skills in setting up their own virtual machines and gained a solid foundation in Linux concepts and distributions. They also learned how to use Linux tools,. It was a fantastic experience teaching this class, and I am excited to continue sharing my knowledge and expertise with my students at Redi. #cybersecurity #linux #learningeveryday #digital #learning

I am thrilled to announce that I have joined the team at ReDI School of Digital Integration as a Cybersecurity teacher. I joined ReDi School earlier this year and It has been an incredibly rewarding experience so far teaching a class filled with talented and enthusiastic individuals who are eager to learn new skills and pursue a career in this exciting field. Check out an excerpt from our recent session where we covered a range of cybersecurity tools such as Wireshark, Nmap, and other Cybersecurity tools. Students were able to learn how these tools can be used to detect and prevent cyber-attacks, as well as how to identify vulnerabilities in networks and systems. Currently teaching Cybersecurity in the spring semester and will be teaching again in the fall semester. It's a way for me to give back to the Cybersecurity space and to equip the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. #cybersecurity #cyber #digital #informationsecurity #informationsecuritymanagement
