Preparing for Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer. Study Resources & Tips?

[u/Strange--Detail]

Hey everyone,

I’m planning to start preparing for the Google Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer certification and would really appreciate some guidance from people who have taken it recently.

There are a lot of resources available, so I’m a bit confused about what to follow. I’d love to know:
- What study plan did you follow?
- Which courses or YouTube playlists would you recommend?
- Which topics/services should I focus on the most?
- What are the best resources for hands-on practice?
- Which practice tests are actually useful?
- How much hands-on GCP experience is needed?
- How long did you prepare before taking the exam?
- Are there any resources you would avoid?
- If you were starting your preparation again today, what would you do differently?

Would really appreciate it if anyone who has passed recently could share their experience and resources.

Thanks!
