How to access labs
1. Click on the Labs tab on your Udemy Business home page or in My learning.
2. Click Explore labs.
3. On the labs overview page, you can explore all available labs. Use the search bar or select the cloud computing radio button, then sub-filter by Google Cloud under Popular topics to find specific Google Cloud labs.
4. Click on any lab listed on the right to begin learning.
Selecting a lab mode
Once you select a Google Cloud lab, you will need to select which mode you want to learn in. We offer multiple modes for each lab so users can select the level of difficulty.
Launching a workspace
After selecting the mode, click on the Launch workspace button either in the top right corner or within the lab’s project assignment to open the workspace associated with the lab.
Please note: We recommend using the launcher button to open your GCP environment, but this may log you out of any Google accounts. If you access console.cloud.google.com directly and use the lab credentials, you might see a project deletion warning. This can be ignored, as it's the system detecting an older project. Use the project dropdown to select the single active project and proceed with your GCP lab!
Ending workspace sessions
You can end the workspace session by clicking End at the top of the page.
Please note: Ending a workspace instance will reset the workspace; all data will be cleared and will not be saved. This action can't be undone.
Workspace sessions and restrictions
