Cloud engineers, administrators and developers with at least six months of hands-on experience on Google Cloud, comfortable with the console and the gcloud CLI.
Associate Cloud Engineer is the Google Cloud certification for people who deploy and operate workloads on the platform: set up projects, IAM and billing, choose the right resources, deploy them and keep them running with the console and the gcloud CLI. It is a hands-on exam: many questions describe a situation and ask for the right command, role or configuration.
The official guide has five sections: setting up a cloud solution environment (about 20%), planning and configuring a cloud solution (17.5%), deploying and implementing it (25%), ensuring successful operation (20%) and configuring access and security (17.5%).
Foundations: the resource hierarchy, organization policies, IAM roles, Cloud Identity, APIs, quotas and billing accounts with budgets and exports. Choosing resources: Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Run and Cloud Run functions; Cloud SQL, BigQuery, Firestore, Spanner and Bigtable; Cloud Storage classes, load balancing and Network Service Tiers.
Deployment and operations: instances, templates and managed instance groups, OS Login and VM Manager; GKE Autopilot and Standard clusters, kubectl, node pools and autoscaling; Cloud Run revisions and traffic splitting; VPCs, subnets, firewall rules, VPN and peering; Terraform; snapshots and images; Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, the Ops Agent and audit logs; and service accounts, impersonation and short-lived credentials.
Google recommends at least six months of hands-on experience. With that base, three to five weeks are usually enough following the official Cloud Engineer learning path and practising with gcloud in your own project: the exam uses current product names (Cloud Run functions, Artifact Registry, gcloud storage).
