The Associate Cloud Engineer is Google Cloud's core, most popular first technical certification. It proves you can deploy, manage and operate workloads on Google Cloud - setting up a cloud environment, planning and configuring solutions, deploying and running them, keeping them healthy, and configuring access and security. Expect hands-on work with Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud Storage, VPC networking, IAM, Cloud Monitoring and Logging, and the gcloud command-line tool. The exam has 50-60 questions (multiple-choice and multiple-select) and lasts 120 minutes. It is graded pass/fail - Google does not publish a numeric passing score. It costs about US$125 and is taken online with remote proctoring or at a test centre, delivered through Pearson VUE. You register through Google's certification portal. The certification is valid for three years; you renew by retaking the exam.
Google Cloud is one of the three major cloud platforms, and demand for engineers who can run workloads on it keeps growing. The Associate Cloud Engineer is the standard way to prove those skills and start a Google Cloud career. It opens cloud engineering roles and leads on to Professional-level Google Cloud certifications.
