Course Lessons

Lesson 1

Introduction to Multi-Cloud Computing

In this lesson, we are introducing our multi-cloud computing topic. We outline our course, look at stakeholders, understand the history, and see when to use multi-cloud computing.

Lesson 2

Moving to the Cloud with Multi-Cloud

In this lesson, we first look at defining our cloud strategy. After that, we look at considerations for moving to the cloud with multi-cloud. And finally, we look at provider comparisons.

Lesson 3

Selecting Multi-Cloud Services

Here, we'll look at the pros and cons of multi-cloud. Then we'll look at identifying shortcomings of multi-cloud and remediations for the shortcomings. Finally, we'll look at comparing cloud costs.

Lesson 4

Designing Multi-Cloud Architecture

In this lesson, we'll identify cloud components and design our multi-cloud application. We'll finish our design by drawing a diagram of it. Finally, we'll also look at distributed multi-cloud.

Lesson 5

Deploying Multi-Cloud Services

In this lesson, we'll deploy multi-cloud applications via Terraform. We'll learn to write basic Terraform and deploy multiple services to each provider and then deploy a multi-cloud infrastructure.

Lesson 6 • Project

A Multi-Cloud Application

In this project, you will deploy the infrastructure necessary in both cloud providers using a cloud-agnostic tool to prevent cloud vendor lock-in.
