Description
Welcome to the Cloud Design & Architecture Training! In this comprehensive course, you will dive into the world of cloud computing, learning the principles, strategies, and best practices for designing and architecting scalable, reliable, and efficient cloud-based solutions. This training is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills required to leverage cloud technologies effectively and make informed decisions when designing cloud architectures.
Course Objectives
- Understand the fundamental concepts of cloud computing, including service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), deployment models (public, private, hybrid, multi-cloud), and cloud benefits and challenges.
- Learn the principles of cloud design and architecture, including scalability, availability, security, performance, and cost optimization.
- Gain insights into various cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and their offerings, allowing you to make informed decisions based on specific project requirements.
- Explore the key components of cloud architecture, such as virtualization, containers, microservices, serverless computing, and software-defined networking.
- Develop skills to design highly available and fault-tolerant applications in the cloud by leveraging techniques like redundancy, load balancing, and distributed data storage.
- Discover security best practices for cloud environments, including identity and access management, encryption, compliance, and monitoring.
- Master strategies for optimizing costs in the cloud, including resource allocation, scaling strategies, reserved instances, and cost monitoring.
- Gain hands-on experience through practical exercises and case studies that simulate real-world cloud design and architecture challenges.
- Learn about cloud migration strategies and techniques to smoothly transition existing on-premises applications to the cloud.
- Explore emerging trends in cloud computing, such as edge computing, AI/ML integration, and serverless architecture patterns.
