5 years after I accomplished Solutions Architect Expert certificate from Microsoft, I have achieved my second expert level of cloud certificate – Google Professional Cloud Architect!

3 months ago, I have started to explore some another Cloud Platform with AI-driven services. Thanks to my manager, I have a chance to enroll a “Get Certified Program” by Google. In this program, there are 2 days training sessions + 4 week learning plan with unlimited access to the Google Skills labs. After that, I got a free vocher for the exam!

The new syllabus of the exam just released on Nov 2025, it focuses heavily on scenario-based design, AI integration (Vertex AI), and operational excellence. Hence, It’s not very useful for you to study past question or dumps, question not come from there; in the exam you will see all are new questions with about 60% AI & ML related with lots of scenario-based questions that dig into cloud architecture design, integrations with GCP services, and applying best practices in real-world cases. You will need a in-depth understand the use of each component and the process for this exam. I have used up all 120 minutes for 60 questions include 2 case studies. It’s quite tough, I don’t even have time to review the question over again. If you gonna take this exam, you must study hard get understand the services which exist within GCP and what services to apply in the scenarios given via the case studies. This along with any experience that you have on what makes sense from an infrastructure standpoint to do and you’re good. Case studies may change. A few services might also be added/renamed… But the common goal of applicability remains the same.
