When there are no physical servers left in the building, what do you do every day? When users complain of performance issues with your services, how do you solve the problem? How do you scale infrastructure up and down? How do you move from expensive computers to commodity computers and build fault tolerance in an inherently fractured chain? This module helps you study the management of cloud operations, addressing the application need for compute power, managing CPU scaling and meeting structured/unstructured storage requirements. The module introduces the modern concept of cloud devops and delves deeper into using open source automated cloud configuration and deployment management tools such as Chef or Puppet. Using chef, knife, cookbooks and recipes, you will learn how to painlessly deploy fairly complex applications that scale across multiple instances in the Amazon Web Services Cloud. As a final project in this module, you will spin up a reasonably complex open source app such as wikimedia (foundation behind wikipedia) from scratch on the Amazon Web Services cloud using open source tools such as chef. Past participants finished launching wikipedia on AWS in under 35 minutes.
