Cloud Architecture and Infrastructure
Description
Comprehensive understanding of cloud infrastructure components, architecture patterns, networking, storage systems, and compute resources.
Learning Objectives
Learners will master cloud infrastructure architecture including compute resources, networking concepts, storage systems, load balancing, and scalability patterns. They will understand how to design resilient, scalable, and efficient cloud architectures using various architectural patterns and best practices.
Topics (7)
Comprehensive coverage of cloud compute services, VM sizing, auto-scaling, load balancing, and compute optimization strategies across major cloud platforms.
Advanced networking concepts including Virtual Private Clouds (VPC), subnets, routing tables, security groups, NACLs, VPN connections, and direct connect services.
Comprehensive understanding of storage types, performance characteristics, durability, availability, and cost optimization strategies for different storage services.
Application and network load balancers, health checks, auto-scaling groups, multi-AZ deployments, disaster recovery, and fault tolerance strategies.
Microservices architecture, serverless patterns, event-driven architecture, distributed systems principles, and cloud-native design patterns.
Cloud monitoring tools, performance metrics, alerting, logging, cost optimization, resource rightsizing, and performance tuning strategies.
Backup strategies, disaster recovery planning, RTO/RPO objectives, cross-region replication, and business continuity frameworks for cloud infrastructures.
