Cloud Computing Overview

In the course Cloud Computing from SpiralTrain the participants learn the fundamentals of Cloud Computing and why it is used by more and more organizations to meet their IT needs.

Intro Cloud Computing

The course Cloud Computing starts with a discussion of the advantages of Cloud Computing such as less management costs, better scalability, up to date security and backup. The possibilities for virtualization and monitoring are also treated.

Type of Clouds

Furthermore attention is paid to the different types such as public clouds that are managed by external cloud providers and private clouds that are specifically intended for one company. Hybrid and community clouds are also covered.

Cloud Services

Part of the program of the course Cloud Computing Overview is also what is called the Cloud Computing Stack. Cloud Services come in four main categories: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Serverless and Software as a Service (SaaS).

Cloud Providers

Various Cloud Providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud are reviewed. Their differences are explained as well as how you deploy applications on them.

Containers

Attention is also paid to the use of lightweight container images that contain applications with all dependencies and that can be started quickly. The difference between containers and virtual machines is treated and both Docker and OpenShift containers are covered.

Container Orchestration

Finally container orchestration with Docker Swarm and Kubernetes is discussed and the use of ADC Controllers with Load Balancing and Multiplexing is explained.

Audience Course Cloud Computing Overview

The course Cloud Computing Overview is aimed at everyone who wants to use Cloud Computing and requires a detailed understanding of the relevant technologies.

Prerequisites Course Cloud Computing Overview

Experience in modern IT technologies and preferably development methodologies is required.

Realization Training Cloud Computing

The subject matter is treated on the basis of presentation slides. Demos are used to clarify the theory. During the course theory and exercises are interchanged. The course material is in English. The course times are from 9.30 up and to 16.30.

Certification Cloud Computing Overview

Participants receive an official certificate of participation in Cloud Computing Overview after successful completion of the course.
