What you will learn
Multi-Cloud Computing
Estimated 1 month to completeThis multiple cloud computing course was designed to introduce learners to multi-cloud architectures and how to design and implement these architectures effectively. It provides learners with the job-ready digital skills they need to approach the shift to a multi-cloud strategy. This involves adopting a mixture of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) services from 2 or more cloud providers and sharing workloads between each—allowing users to choose services that meet their specific needs.
Prerequisite knowledge
Basic knowledge of Git, cloud providers & Terraform.
Moving to the Cloud with Multi-Cloud
- Define a cloud strategy.
- Identify the most important considerations of cloud implementation.
- Evaluate multi-cloud implementation considerations for a given use case.
Selecting Multi-Cloud Services
- Identify pros and cons of a multi-cloud strategy.
- Compare various cloud services and determine the most feasible for a use case.
- Remediate any shortcomings of a multi-cloud strategy.
Designing Multi-Cloud Architecture
- Identify architecture components for multi-cloud and when and where to use them.
- Design a multi-cloud application architecture.
- Explain what is distributed multicloud and when to use it.
Deploying Multi-Cloud Services
- Write Terraform code to deploy to multiple cloud providers.
- Deploy a multi-cloud architecture using Terraform.
Course Project: A Multi-Cloud Application
In this project, learners will act as employees for a company that has just decided to deploy a cloud-native application. After much deliberation, the company has decided to use a dotnet app and SQL database in Azure, and NoSQL and object storage in AWS. Learners will do some research and provide a rationale for one of these choices, then design an architecture diagram for these services and providers. The end goal is to deploy the infrastructure necessary in both cloud providers using a cloud-agnostic tool to prevent cloud vendor lock-in.
