- [narrator[ New Organizations born in the cloud are challenging old business models. Scale is no longer a competitive advantage. It's the norm. But what does this mean for organizations founded before the cloud era? They want to know how to not only survive, but thrive. The answer lies in how organizations structure and use their IT resources, like moving away from investing in their own resources to run and maintain existing IT infrastructure. With the cloud, organizations can shift their focus to creating new higher value products and services. And it's not just about infrastructure. With the cloud, organizations can develop and build new applications to drive better engagement with customers and employees faster, securely, and at scale. Enterprises are also seeing significant financial benefits from adopting the cloud as their approach to IT moves from buying fixed capacity to paying only for what they use. They are changing the economics of technology investment. For many organizations, infrastructure and application modernization are the foundation for digital transformation. So considering that, let's explore the goals of this course. Modernize infrastructure and applications with Google Cloud was designed to help introduce you to common terminology related to infrastructure and application modernization. Explore options available to run compute workloads in the cloud, including virtual machines, containers and serverless architecture. And examine options to modernize application development through rehosting and APIs. Throughout the course, you are presented with graded knowledge assessments. You must pass these assessments to receive course credit. Okay, let's get started.
