 Lab Environment

For each lab, Qwiklabs offers:

• A free set of resources for a fixed
amount of time
• A clean environment with permissions

Qwiklabs provisions you with Google account credentials, so you can access
the GCP Console for each lab at no cost. Specifically, for each lab, Qwiklabs
offers:
● A free set of resources for a fixed amount of time
● A clean environment with permissions

Let’s go ahead an open Qwiklabs:

1. Open an incognito window (or private/anonymous window). Use of an
incognito browser window reduces the risk that you will accidentally do
the labs using your own GCP account rather than Qwiklabs’.
2. Go to the Qwiklabs URL your instructor provides.
3. Sign In with existing account or Join with new account (with email you
used to register for the course).
4. Launch the course from My Learning.

Active Lab

Not yet available

Do NOT launch a lab until instructed to do so!

After you launch the course, you can view your labs. The lab list will indicate if
a lab is:
● Completed (by you)
● Active
● Or not yet available

Your instructor will let you know when it’s time to launch a lab. Once you start
a lab, you won't be able to pause and restart it, so you'll need a continuous
block of time to complete the work.
