CloudOps
Running cloud infrastructure day to day — including the bill.
What you'll be able to do
- Design a VPC and network topology that a security review passes
- Cut a cloud bill without degrading the service
- Run backup and disaster recovery you have actually tested
- Operate across more than one cloud without doubling the work
Modules
- 01Cloud architecture fundamentalsRegions, availability zones, shared responsibility, well-architected trade-offs
- 02NetworkingVPC design, subnets, NAT versus gateway endpoints, peering, transit, private connectivity
- 03Compute and storageInstance families, autoscaling, spot strategy, block versus object storage, lifecycle policy
- 04Managed data servicesRDS and Aurora, Redis, DynamoDB, read replicas, failover behaviour under load
- 05Cost engineeringTagging discipline, rightsizing, commitments, egress traps, finding the line item that grew
- 06Monitoring and incident responseCloudWatch, alerting thresholds, runbooks, on-call rotation, blameless postmortems
- 07Backup and disaster recoveryRPO and RTO, restore rehearsals, cross-region strategy, what an untested backup is worth
- 08Multi-cloud and hybridAzure and GCP equivalents, portability decisions, when multi-cloud is a mistake
Capstone
Inherit a badly built cloud environment, produce a costed remediation plan, then execute it — and show the before-and-after bill.
