Exam details & resources
You’ll be able to complete the hands-on exercises using an in-browser hosted lab environment. This new course feature requires no local setup and allows you to perform the labs directly in your browser, regardless of your machine’s operating system, and at no additional cost.
Alternatively, you can complete the labs using your own lab environment. In this case, you will need an account with a public cloud provider or a local virtualization solution such as VirtualBox. The lab exercises have been tested in a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment. If you choose to use a public cloud provider like GCP or AWS, please be aware that charges may apply if you exceed the free credits.
