In this lab, you will create a secure and scalable web application on Google Cloud Platform using multiple services. You'll set up VPC networking, deploy Compute Engine instances for the web servers, manage traffic with Cloud Load Balancing, and automate HTTP(S) load balancing. You will also configure a Cloud SQL database, secure your setup with IAM roles, and apply Cloud Monitoring to ensure performance and availability. By the end of the lab, you will have a well-architected web application demonstrating the integration of networking, compute, and database services on GCP.
