The aim of this module is to enable the learner to critically assess the strategic and operational aspects of the public cloud to be able to design scalable, reliable, high availability, secure and enterprise architectures. Learners will architect design and implement optimised infrastructure environments based on the best practices.
Designing for Disaster Recovery and High Availability
Cloud solutions to enable faster disaster recovery of their critical IT systems without incurring the infrastructure expense of a second physical site.
Event Based Scaling
Service continuity in the face of unpredictable demand. Metrics and rules based scaling.
Serverless Architectures
Defining Architectures considering different Computing options, Types of Storage, Elasticity, Scalability, Reliability and HighAvailability. Architecture of storage, analysis and planning, nano service software architectures.
Microservice Architectures
Microservice software architectures, comparison with monolithic, scalability/deployability and monitoring; RESTful services and metadata. API gateways; service discovering.
Security in the Cloud
Securing Cloud instances, public/private subnets, encryption of data in transit and at rest, Key Management Services. Identity Management and Secure Configuration Management
Lectures, labs and independent study.
