5 CCP Module 4: Fundamental rchitecture This course provides a highly technical drill-down into the inner workings and mechanics of foundational cloud computing platforms. Private and public cloud environments are dissected into concrete, componentized building blocks (referred to as patterns ) that individually represent platform feature-sets, functions and/or artifacts, and are collectively applied to establish distinct technology architecture layers. uilding upon these foundations, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a- Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environments are further explored as compound patterns, comprised of unique and shared building blocks. The course is structured as a guided tour through these architectural layers, describing primary components, highlighting shared components and explaining how building blocks can be assembled and implemented via cloud computing mechanisms and practices The following primary topics are covered: Understanding the Technology rchitecture of Private s, Public s, and IaaS, PaaS and SaaS Environments 12 New Computing Technology Mechanisms, including Hypervisors, Resource Clusters, Load alancers, SL Monitors and more 19 rchitectural Models and Patterns, including Dynamic Scalability, Resource Pooling, Rapid Provisioning, Usage Monitoring and more Other technology architecture topics pertaining to cloud platforms, cloud-based solutions and services are also explored.

Through the study of architectural mechanisms, industry technologies and design patterns, both core and extended components are described that combine to realize elasticity, resiliency and multitenancy as primary characteristics of cloud platforms. y leveraging these native and enhanced scalability and failover-related feature-sets, specialized solution architectures are described to enable bursting between clouds and on-premise and cloud environments, as well as the balancing of runtime loads across clouds for performance and failover purposes. s with Module 4, the course organizes content so that architectural layers are explored sequentially and, where appropriate, in relation to each other. Newly introduced primary components are described and shared components across architectural layers are highlighted. Twenty new architectural models are covered, including: Elastic Resource Capacity, Elastic Network Capacity and Elastic Disk Provisioning Hypervisor Clustering, Redundant Storage, Zero Downtime and Dynamic Failure Detection and Recovery Service Load alancing, Load alanced Instances and Load alanced Switches Dynamic Data Normalization, Synchronized Operating State and Persistent Network Configurations Other technology architecture topics pertaining to cloud platforms, cloud-based solutions and services are also explored.
