Operationalizing AI Agents on Google Cloud Training

This course equips technical professionals and cloud architects with the specialized skills needed to deploy, manage, and optimize autonomous AI agents at scale within an enterprise environment. It covers the core taxonomy and operational lifecycle of agentic AI, multi-agent design patterns, enterprise governance and security frameworks, and advanced full-stack evaluation metrics. Participants will learn how to leverage Google Cloud services, such as the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Autopilot, and Spanner Graph, to construct secure, scalable, and cost-effective autonomous multi-agent systems that drive business value while mitigating operational, identity, and economic risks.
