The program was developed in three distinct areas; Cloud Technologies, Cloud Architecture and Cloud Operations & Management
Each Module is explained below:
Module One - Cloud Technologies
The first session will be a full 9-hour Saturday. This will be followed by 8 evening sessions lasting 3 hours each, either on Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday.
Each class will be 80 minutes long, with 30 minutes for theory, 30 minutes for hands-on lab, and 20 minutes recap. Thus, a typical evening session will have one class, a 20-minute break and then the next class. Home work follows, and is to be turned in via email or portal. The final exam is online.
The module begins with an overview of Cloud Computing and Technology provides the tools for participants to understand the landscape of technologies used in the Cloud as well as the technologies used by users of cloud services.
This module will help you focus on hands on work and you would need to use a laptop computer (windows or mac) for the lab exercises that would involve using eclipse, visual studio, and other tools and plugins that will get you a solid foundation in accessing and managing cloud services provided by cloud technology leaders in the market.
Through Module One you will receive an initial hands on experience in deploying simple applications to the Cloud.
Module Two - Cloud Architecture
The first session will be a full 9-hour Saturday. This will be followed by 8 evening sessions lasting 3 hours each, either on Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday.
Each class will be 80 minutes long, with 30 minutes for theory, 30 minutes for hands-on lab, and 20 minutes recap. Thus, a typical evening session will have one class, a 20-minute break and then the next class. Home work follows, and is to be turned in via email or portal.
This module provides an overview of Cloud Architecture. It helps participants understand application requirements - CPU, storage, and network requirements, end user responsiveness expectations - performance and latency.
It provides a general framework on assessing application performance needs - scaling up versus scaling out while addressing business requirements (security, legal compliance, budget).
Module Two helps participants in understand what does it take to meet the continuity needs for the business as well as planning for recovery from a disaster and managing denial of service attacks and creating plans to avoid DOS attacks.
Module Three - Cloud Operations & Management
The first session will be a full 9-hour Saturday. This will be followed by 8 evening sessions lasting 3 hours each, either on Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday.
Each class will be 80 minutes long, with 30 minutes for theory, 30 minutes for hands-on lab, and 20 minutes recap. Thus, a typical evening session will have one class, a 20-minute break and then the next class. Home work follows, and is to be turned in via email or portal. The final exam is online.
This module enables participants to understand Cloud Operations and Managementstudy addressing the applications' need for computing power, managing CPU scaling, meeting structured and unstructured storage requirements.
Module Three also helps participants understand the applications' need for storage, creative ways of economically transporting very large quantity of data to and from the cloud.
The Module will also delve into approaches of efficient content delivery to a worldwide audience via use of content delivery networks, backing up and restoring cloud storage and services and monitoring cloud operations and security.
