Build Production-Ready Agents on Google Cloud

In this course, you will use your knowledge of developing agents using Agent Development Kit to productionize agents using Google's Agentic Stack on Google Cloud. After reviewing the agentic stack and different deployment targets, you will build an agent using session, memory and example services available within Google Cloud. You will integrate external tools using Model Context Protocol (MCP) and communicate with other agents using Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol. Finally, you will design applications with human-agent interaction in mind.
