Day 1 delivers comprehensive coverage of core cloud computing principles, bridging the gap between technology and business objectives. The module is organized into distinct sections, each supported by practical, hands-on exercises.
Day 2 examines technology-specific aspects of cloud computing platforms. Rather than focusing on implementation or coding details, the content remains at a conceptual level, emphasizing cloud service architecture, security threats and mitigation technologies, virtualization, and data processing.
Day 3 offers a technical perspective on foundational cloud computing platforms. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environments are analyzed as composite patterns built from unique and shared components. This module guides participants through these architectural layers, outlining primary elements, identifying shared components, and explaining how building blocks can be assembled and deployed using cloud computing mechanisms and best practices.
Day 4 expands on Day 3 by exploring elastic, resilient, and multitenant technology architectures, as well as specialized solution designs such as cloud bursting and cloud balancing. By studying architectural mechanisms, industry technologies, and design patterns, the course describes both core and extended components that enable elasticity, resiliency, and multitenancy as key characteristics of cloud platforms. Leveraging native and enhanced scalability and failover features, specialized solution architectures are detailed to facilitate bursting between clouds and on-premises environments, as well as balancing runtime loads across clouds for performance optimization and failover capabilities.
Day 5 presents participants with a series of exercises and scenarios designed to assess their ability to apply the knowledge gained in previous sessions.
