• Set-up a private cloud to support resource management and capacity planning
  

Who should attend?

IT personnel with foundational knowledge in cloud computing and IT professionals who seek a deeper knowledge and understanding of the cloud concepts at an intermediate level.

This module covers approaches to architecting cloud solution based on industry established framework such as AWS well-architected framework. This includes learning the essential architecting considerations for designing cloud solutions.

Learners will undertake cloud lab practices that will cover the application of skills and knowledge to architect solution for cloud services. It also covers the engagement and utilisation of on premise private cloud. Learners will be given opportunities to configure essential private cloud services and to perform provisioning of cloud resources.
