In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital transformation, “the cloud” is no longer just a destination for storage—it is the engine of modern business innovation. However, as many IT leaders and engineers discover, moving to the cloud is only half the battle. The real challenge lies in architecting environments that are secure, scalable, and cost-effective.
At Europe Cloud, we see organizations struggling with the same questions: How do we optimize our networking for speed? Which database service actually fits our workload? How do we ensure security without slowing down deployment?
To answer these questions, we are opening our doors for a special hands-on event.
The Core of the Cloud
On February 24th, 2026, we are hosting “Unlocking Google Cloud: Core Services and Products” at our Sofia office. This isn’t a high-level marketing overview. It is a technical deep dive designed for professionals who want to get their hands dirty in the Google Cloud Console.
Led by Kaloyan Siriyski, our Head of DevOps and a Certified Google Cloud Trainer, the workshop is structured to take participants through the entire lifecycle of a cloud project.
What We’ll Be Building
The day is divided into six intensive modules, covering the pillars of the Google Cloud ecosystem:
- Infrastructure & Security: Understanding IAM (Identity and Access Management) and global architecture to build a secure foundation.
- Compute Power: Mastering VM management and scaling strategies with Compute Engine.
- Data Strategy: Navigating the trade-offs between Cloud SQL, Spanner, Firestore, and Bigtable.
- Modernization: Stepping into the world of containers and serverless with GKE and Cloud Run.
The day concludes with a Capstone Lab, where attendees will build and launch a real-world application, integrating everything they’ve learned.
Why Hands-on Matters
Documentation is great, but implementation is better. Our goal is to move beyond theory. By requiring participants to bring their own laptops and work through real-world scenarios, we ensure that the skills learned are immediately transferable to their daily projects.
Whether you are looking to modernize your current infrastructure, optimize your cloud spend, or prepare your team for advanced AI implementation, a solid grasp of core services is the mandatory first step.
