PDF Module 2
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
•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
