Prerequisites
Before you take this course, we recommend you have the following:
- CompTIA Network+ certification and/or CompTIA Server+ certification, although CompTIA certifications are not required
- At least 24-36 months of work experience in IT networking, network storage or data center administration
- Familiarity with any major hypervisor technologies for server virtualisation, although vendor-specific certifications in virtualisation are not required
- Knowledge of cloud service model (IaaS, Paas, Saas) definitions
- Knowledge of common cloud deployment model (private, public, hybrid) definitions
- Hands-on experience with at least one public cloud IaaS platform
Course Objectives
You’ll learn how to implement, maintain, and deliver cloud technologies and infrastructures. You’ll also understand the aspects of IT security and industry best practices related to cloud implementations and virtualisation:
