- 1. IBM Solution Advisor A. Cloud Foundation course- IBM Solution Advisor: This foundational course provides end-to-end coverage of fundamental cloud computing topics as they pertain to both technology and business considerations. The course content is divided into a series of modular sections, each of which is accompanied by one or more hands-on exercises. The following primary topics are covered: •A Brief History of the Business and Technology Drivers that Led to Cloud Computing •Fundamental Cloud Computing Terminology and Concepts •Horizontal and Vertical Scaling •Basics of Virtualization •Specific Characteristics that Define a Cloud •On-Premise Services vs. Cloud Services •Understanding Elasticity, Resiliency, On-Demand and Measured Usage •Benefits, Challenges and Risks of Contemporary Cloud Computing Platforms and Cloud Services •Understanding How Cloud Consumers and Cloud Providers Relate •Cloud Resource Administrator and Cloud Service Owner Roles •Cloud Service and Cloud Service Consumer Roles •Organizational and Trust Boundaries as They Pertain to Cloud Consumers and Providers •Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud Delivery Models •Combining Cloud Delivery Models •Public Cloud, Private Cloud, Hybrid Cloud and Community Cloud Deployment Models •Measuring the Business Value and ROI of Cloud Computing •Business Cost Metrics and Formulas for Comparing and Calculating Cloud and On-Premise Solution Costs •Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for Cloud-based IT Resources VARNAAZ Academy +91 98455 62620 training@varnaaz.com
- 2. •Formulas for Calculating and Rating SLA Quality of Service Characteristics •Optional Supplement: Cloud Computing & SOA Connection Points (for participants interested in using cloud computing and SOA together) B. Advanced Cloud computing course – (IBM solution advisor + AWS): 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, and Pay-for-Use Monitors •Mapping Cloud Computing Mechanisms to Cloud Characteristics •Combining Cloud Computing Mechanisms •Cloud Balancing and Cloud Bursting Architectures •Common Risks, Threats and Vulnerabilities of Cloud-based Services and Cloud-hosted Solutions •Cloud Security Mechanisms Used to Counter Threats and Attacks •Single Sign -On for Cloud-Based Services •Understanding Cloud-Based Security Groups and Hardened Virtual Server Images •Understanding Virtualization Attacks and Overlapping Trust Boundaries •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 VARNAAZ Academy +91 98455 62620 training@varnaaz.com
- 3. •Understanding Performance Testing, Stress Testing, and Integration Testing •Modern Cloud Technologies, including Autonomic Computing and Service Grids •Building Cloud Platforms (IaaS, PaaS and SaaS and how to use them together and across clouds) •Emerging Cloud Computing Trends and Innovations •Emerging Cloud Computing Industry Standards and Community Projects VARNAAZ Academy +91 98455 62620 training@varnaaz.com
