CCP Module 2: Cloud Technology Concepts This course explores a range of the most important and relevant technology-related topics that pertain to contemporary cloud computing platforms. The course content does not get into implementation or programming details, but instead keeps coverage at a conceptual level, focusing on topics that address cloud service architecture, cloud security threats and technologies, virtualization and data processing. Proven technologies are defined and classified as concrete architectural building blocks called mechanisms. The purpose of this course is to introduce cloud computing-related technology topics in a manner that is accessible to a wide range of IT professionals, as well as to empower participants with an understanding of the fundamental mechanics of a cloud platform, how the different moving parts can be combined, and how to address common threats and pitfalls. The following primary topics are covered: Cloud Computing Mechanisms that Establish Architectural Building Blocks Virtual Servers, Ready-Made Environments, Failover Systems & Pay-for-Use Monitors Cloud Balancing and Cloud Bursting Architectures Common Risks, Threats and Vulnerabilities of Cloud-based Services & Cloud-hosted Solutions Cloud Security Mechanisms Used to Counter Threats and Attacks Understanding Cloud-Based Security Groups and Hardened Virtual Server Images Cloud Service Implementation Mediums (including Web Services and REST Services) Cloud Storage Benefits and Challenges Cloud Storage Services, Technologies and Approaches Non-Relational (NoSQL) Storage Compared to Relational Storage Cloud Service Testing Considerations and Testing Types Cloud Computing: Concepts, Technology & Architecture Text Book accompanying Cloud Computing: Concepts, Technology & Architecture text book from the acclaimed Prentice Hall Service Technology Series from Thomas Erl. separately as part of the Module 2, which includes designed to prepare you for Exam C90.02 and are also suitable
CCP Module 16: Fundamental Cloud Virtualization This course provides solid, end-to-end, foundational coverage of virtualization technologies, types and mechanisms. The following topics are covered: A Brief history of Virtualization Virtualization Concepts and Definitions Traditional vs. Contemporary Virtualization 10 Virtualization Types (including Data Center, Storage, Application, Desktop, Net work, Server, etc.) 18 Virtualization Mechanisms (including Virtualization Agent, Virtual Server State Manager, Virtual Appliance, Virtual Firewall, etc.) Virtual Machines, Hypervisors Drill-Down vcpu, vram, vdisk, Virtual to Virtual Conversion Thick and Think Provisioning, Virtual Switches, NIC Teaming Service Virtualization ROI and Strategic Benefits Virtualization Considerations for Cloud Providers and Consumers Resource Pooling and Management, Virtual Infrastructure and Management Monitoring and KPIs Capacity Planning & Management Considerations Cloud Computing: Concepts, Technology & Architecture Text Book accompanying Cloud Computing: Concepts, Technology & Architecture text book from the acclaimed Prentice Hall Service Technology Series from Thomas Erl. separately as part of the Module 16, which includes designed to prepare you for Exam C90.16 and are also suitable
