From the course: CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) (CAS-004) Cert Prep

Infrastructure design

- In this section of the course, we're going to discuss how to determine the proper infrastructure security design, by considering some key requirements, such as scalability, resiliency, and automation. So, in this section, we're again going to be focusing on Domain 1, Security Architecture, specifically Objective 1.2. Given a scenario, analyze the organizational requirements to determine the proper infrastructure security design. So, as we begin moving through this section, we're going to start out by discussing scalability, including both vertical and horizontal scaling for our resources, then we're going to discuss the different forms of resiliency, including high availability, diversity and heterogeneity of resources, orchestration, allocations, redundancy, replication, and clustering. Next, we're going to move into automation and discussing auto-scaling, SOAR, and bootstrapping. Finally, we're going to discuss the concepts of performance, containerization, virtualization, content delivery networks, and caching, as well as how these affect our organizational networks, and their associated performance. So, let's get started in this section on Infrastructure Design. (logo reverberates)
