Day 1 covers essential cloud computing concepts from both technological and business perspectives. The module is organized into several sections, each supported by practical, hands-on exercises.
Day 2 examines technology-related aspects of cloud computing platforms. Rather than diving into implementation or coding details, it maintains a conceptual focus on cloud service architecture, security threats and technologies, virtualization, and data processing.
Day 3 offers technical insight into foundational cloud computing platforms. It explores Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environments as composite patterns made up of unique and shared components. This module guides participants through these architectural layers, detailing primary components, highlighting shared elements, and explaining how building blocks can be assembled and implemented using cloud computing mechanisms and best practices.
Day 4 expands on Day 3 by delving into elastic, resilient, and multitenant technology architectures, as well as specialized solution architectures like cloud bursting and cloud balancing. By studying architectural mechanisms, industry technologies, and design patterns, it describes both core and extended components that enable elasticity, resiliency, and multitenancy—key characteristics of cloud platforms. Leveraging native and enhanced scalability and failover features, it details specialized solution architectures that facilitate bursting between cloud and on-premise environments, as well as balancing runtime loads across clouds for performance and failover purposes.
Day 5 presents participants with a series of exercises and problems designed to test their ability to apply the knowledge gained from previous topics.
