Distributed Cloud & Edge Computing with Anthos & Azure Arc – Online Course
 
Distributed Cloud & Edge Computing with Anthos & Azure Arc is a cutting-edge, hands-on course designed to equip IT professionals, cloud architects, and DevOps engineers with the skills to build and manage distributed applications across on-premises, cloud, and edge environments using two powerful platforms: Google Anthos and Microsoft Azure Arc.
 
As enterprises embrace hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, there's a growing need for infrastructure that provides consistency, scalability, and control across diverse environments. This is where distributed cloud platforms come in—offering unified management for VMs, containers, Kubernetes clusters, and serverless workloads across regions and networks.
 
What are Anthos and Azure Arc, and how do they work in distributed cloud computing?
  • Google Anthos is a hybrid cloud and Kubernetes platform that enables organizations to run applications unmodified across on-prem, Google Cloud, and third-party clouds. It offers consistent container management, service mesh, policy enforcement, and observability.
  • Azure Arc allows organizations to manage on-premises and multi-cloud resources from within the Azure ecosystem, extending Azure’s control plane to Kubernetes, servers, and data services outside Azure.
This course teaches how to deploy workloads across the edge, manage distributed environments, enforce governance policies, and ensure compliance—all while maintaining centralized visibility and security.
 
How to Use This Course
  • Begin by learning the foundations of distributed cloud and edge computing, including challenges and use cases.
  • Learn how to deploy and connect Anthos and Azure Arc to remote clusters, edge nodes, and hybrid systems.
  • Explore Kubernetes orchestration, GitOps, policy control, and workload mobility across distributed nodes.
  • Implement real-world use cases such as retail edge computing, IoT processing, financial compliance, and hybrid backup.
  • Use the capstone project to design and manage a distributed app using Anthos and Arc with centralized control.
This course is ideal for cloud professionals working in complex environments where resiliency, latency, data locality, and multi-cloud interoperability are key.
