Google Cloud for .NET Engineers

Containerize & DeployShip .NET to Google Cloud like the senior on your team.

Seventeen hours from dotnet new to a production Cloud Run service: a lean container, Pulumi C#, secrets, safe rollouts and keyless CI/CD. Every lab is checked against the service you actually deployed.

No video marathons. Real Cloud Run, real checks, a certificate that means something.

Seven modules. One service you will be proud of.

Each module starts from a real production incident and ends with a lab that proves you fixed it.

Your first deploy, as code

Fix a service that cannot start on Cloud Run, build its image without a Dockerfile, and deploy it with Pulumi C#.

2 hLab

A container worth shipping

Replace the default image with a small, non-root, shell-free multi-stage build and push it to Artifact Registry.

2 hLab

Config, secrets and a service identity

Move a secret out of your code and into Secret Manager, read it at runtime from a mounted volume, and run Sniplink as a dedicated service account that can read exactly one secret.

2 h 15 minLab

Lifecycle: start, scale, stop

Make Sniplink start cleanly, scale within a budget and stop without dropping requests on Cloud Run.

2 hLab

Releases without fear

Ship a new version to a tagged URL first, move traffic in steps you control from Pulumi config, and roll back in seconds without a rebuild.

1 h 45 minLab

CI/CD without keys

Build, test and deploy Sniplink from GitHub with Cloud Build and a least-privilege service account, without a single long-lived key.

2 h 30 minLab

Final project: Dayquote

Build, ship and release a new .NET service on Cloud Run from an empty folder, using everything from modules 1 to 6, with no step-by-step help.

Before you start

You write C# and ASP.NET Core confidently. No Docker, Kubernetes or Google Cloud experience needed. You need a Google Cloud account with billing enabled; the course stays within a few dollars with budget alerts.

Labs that check what you shipped, not what you watched.

Paste your Cloud Run URL. The checker calls your service, verifies a Google-signed identity token and runs the checks for the module in front of you.

Fail a check and you get the reason and a hint, not a red cross.
