Topic 1: Fundamental Cloud Architecture
The course is structured as a guided tour through these architectural layers, describing primary components, highlighting shared components, exploring containerization extensions and explaining how building blocks can be assembled and implemented via cloud computing mechanisms and practices.

• Understanding the Technology Architecture of Private Clouds and Public Clouds
• Understanding the Technology Architecture of SaaS, PaaS and ISaaS Environments
• Automated Administration and Centralized Remote Administration
• Container Sidecars and Container Chains
• Self-Provisioning and Platform Provisioning
• Rich Containers and Logical Pod Containers
• Bare-Metal Provisioning and Resource Management
• Single-Node Multi-Containers and Multipath Resource Access
• Usage Monitoring and Broad Access
• Realtime Resource Availability and Pay-as-You-Go
• Shared Resources and Resource Pooling
• Rapid Provisioning and Resource Reservation
• Non-Disruptive Service Relocation and Service State Management
• Workload Distribution and Dynamic Scalability

Topic 2: Advance Cloud Architecture
The course organizes content so that architectural layers are explored sequentially and, where appropriate, in relation to each other. Newly introduced primary components are described and shared components across architectural layers are highlighted.

• Understanding the Technology Architecture of Elastic, Resilient, Multitenant and Containerized Environments
• Elastic Resource Capacity and Elastic Network Capacity
• Multi-Container Isolation Control and Volatile Container Configuration
• Serverless Deployment and Elastic Disk Provisioning
• Leader Node Election and Micro Scatter-Gather
• Hypervisor Clustering and Redundant Storage
• Storage Service Gateway and Live Storage Migration
• LUN Storage and LUN Migration
• Dynamic Failure Detection and Recovery and Zero Downtime
• Service Load Balancing and Load Balanced Virtual Server Instances
• Load Balanced Virtual Switches and Persistent Virtual Network Configurations
• Dynamic Data Normalization and Synchronized Operating State
• Intra-Storage Device Vertical Tiering and Cross-Storage Device Vertical Tiering
• Storage Workload Management and Storage Maintenance Window
• Direct I/O Access and Direct LUN Access
• Cloud Balancing and Redundant Physical Connection for Virtual Servers
• Cloud Bursting, including Burst In and Burst Out to Private/Public Clouds

Topic 3: Cloud Architecture Lab
This module provides a set of detailed exercises that require participants to solve a number of inter-related problems, with the ultimate goal of evaluating, designing and correcting technology architectures to fulfill specific sets of solution and business automation requirements.
