Google is hosting a month-long event for February 2020 called the Community Speedrun Challenge. It includes 4 week-long challenges:
Speedrun #1: BigQuery Basics for Data Analysts
Speedrun #2: Kubernetes in the Google Cloud
Speedrun #3: Google Developer Essentials
Speedrun #4: Introduction to Cloud Run
The Speedrun is giving me a wonderful, hands-on introduction to the Google Cloud Platform and Kubernetes. I am always a fan of hands-on learning.
It is also a good introduction to Qwiklabs, the Speedrun’s platform. I will definitely be using Qwiklabs for more hands-on cloud education.
The Challenge includes a leaderboard. This is my first time on a leaderboard. I must say, it really got my competitive nature fired-up and burning!! Here’s me, #10 on the board for week 1:
