This three day course is for administrators, deployment engineers, or other IT team members responsible for the installation and deployment of OpenStack. Through the process of manually deploying OpenStack, rather than depending on deployment tools and scripts, students learn where to identify issues and how to overcome hurdles for when things go wrong. The course provides participants with a detailed understanding of all of the steps necessary to deploy an OpenStack environment from scratch.

This course prepares solutions architects for the Amazon Web Services platform. AWS is the hottest technology on the planet today. This course is architected in such a way that an authorized certification test may be taken when the student graduates.

Cloud Computing is gaining increasing attention within enterprises of all shapes and sizes, but few technologists actually know how to properly scope, design, and construct Cloud solutions. Taking standard software applications, databases, and user interfaces and deploying them in a Cloud environment is a recipe for disaster. Proper scoping, usage modeling, and careful design are all essential to success in the Cloud. This two day class begins with an examination of the Cloud Computing concept, the structure and key characteristics of Clouds, and takes a look under the hood at how they operate. From there, students are introduced to a Cloud Reference Model and explore various aspects of Cloud solution design from discovery throughout the lifecycle of a Cloud solution all the way to retirement. Special attention is given to requirements and Cloud utilization analysis, Cloud solution design strategies, and deployment scenarios. Upon completion of this course, students will have an understanding of the Cloud Computing environment and practical experience in designing, developing, and deploying Cloud-based solutions. This class consists of 25% hands-on labs in an actual OpenStack Cloud Computing development environment, and 75% lecture and discussion. Students should have some hands-on experience developing software, but the focus of the course is upon architecture and design considerations within the Cloud.

Cloud Computing requires a degree of cognitive shift on the part of technologists working on designing solutions for the Cloud. This two day class provides students with a frame of reference of needed concepts, means and techniques that will enable them to make informed decisions when designing solutions for the Cloud. This hands-on workshop includes 9 labs, 4 of which use OpenStack to illustrate the main aspects of the IaaS platform.

Every few years, a major shift in computing and Information Technology strategy comes along.  One of the latest such innovations is Cloud Computing.  Part technology innovation and part financial strategy, Cloud Computing holds tremendous potential for organizations of all shapes and sizes.

This course provides foundational knowledge in Cloud Computing components, foundational technologies, architecture, design, and business value. Attendees are provided with a broad survey of Cloud Computing concepts and given an opportunity to explore Cloud from multiple angles.  Concepts are reinforced through analysis of real world case studies and group discussion.

This course is designed for IT professionals looking to understand the Microsoft Azure Infrastructure components, including virtual machines, virtual networks, migrating, extending, running, managing and monitoring common workloads in the cloud. The course will guide student through the process of managing virtual machines, web sites, and cloud services in Microsoft Azure.

This course provides an in-depth discussion and practical hands-on training of Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Services (IaaS) including Azure Virtual Machines, Storage, Virtual Networking, Azure Active Directory and deployment options. This training is designed to relate IaaS technologies used in Amazon Web Services (AWS) to those used in Microsoft Azure.

This course is aimed at experienced IT Professionals who currently administer their on-premise infrastructure. The course introduces the student to Microsoft Azure and then teaches them how to manage their infrastructure in Azure rather than on premise.

This 3-day instructor-led course covers a range of components, including Azure Compute, Azure Storage, and network services that customers can benefit from when deploying hybrid solutions. In this context, the term hybrid means integrating infrastructure technologies that customers host in on-premises datacenters with Azure IaaS and PaaS services. This course offers an overview of these services, providing the knowledge necessary to design hybrid solutions properly. It also includes a number of demonstrations and labs that enable students to develop hands-on skills that are necessary when implementing such solutions.

This course provides the underlying knowledge required by all individuals who will be evaluating Microsoft Azure, regardless of whether they are an administrator, developer, or database administrator. This course also provides the pre-requisite knowledge for students wishing to attend course 20532 Developing Microsoft Azure Solutions, or course 20533 Implementing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions.

The challenge for professionals in security and governance in IT is in understanding the risks, issues and trade-offs presented by cloud computing.
The emergence of cloud computing has changed both the location and the domain of control of information technology. As on-premise hardware and software, and personal and corporate data are moved off-premise to a cloud or within the premises as a private cloud, the result is a change in ownership and responsibility for the systems, data and services. Current security and legal threats are shifting and new potential threats are being created.
This course is concerned with applying security and governance best practice to a cloud environment. It draws on security guidelines such as CSA and examines the key security issues of cloud computing and what types of business, commercial and technical governance are needed when managing cloud computing security.

As cloud computing continues to evolve, so does the role of the professional cloud service manager. This includes all the activities and responsibilities involved in designing, managing and retiring cloud computing and cloud based services.
The balance of maintaining the performance of existing systems, processes and functions while implementing new solution practices is further complicated by the need to consider the impact on both consumers and providers. The modules in this course systematically lay out the core components of the cloud service manager function and necessary skills.

Cloud computing has been around for a few years now and continues to be built on the foundations of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). Public and private cloud implementations are now mainstream options that solution architects need to understand and consider in their role. There are a range of capabilities and issues that need to be successfully navigated to support the adoption, development and performance optimization of cloud solutions and services in the
enterprise and the wider marketplace and IT ecosystem.
This course examines these major issues and modern cloud-enabled systems and services and their impact on business models, software, hardware and devices.

As cloud computing continues to evolve, so does the role of the professional cloud developer. The modules in this course systematically lay out the core components of the cloud developer function and necessary skills.
