Cloud Applications Architecture
Get an overview on cloud application design. This training covers the basic principles of building cloud systems and the primary building blocks offered by IaaS/PaaS/SaaS vendors (as well as methods and specifics of using them). You’ll practice building a virtual network, outline the application structure, and make designs to ensure quality attributes.

Description

Our training is a starting point for learning how to design cloud systems. Its main goal is to give you an introduction into the specifics and challenges of cloud and how to use the primary cloud toolset. We’ll start with the origin and types of cloud and an overview of the main technologies that enable cloud computing and then move on to designing cloud applications.

We’ll look at building virtual cloud networks, where we will discuss planning points of presence, organizing inbound and outbound traffic and content delivery. You’ll learn how to deploy the app’s functional elements – both server-based and serverless options. We will review capabilities of working with persistent data, selecting DBMS for various cases, and complete the introduction to cloud app building blocks (by solving integration tasks).

We’ll also be covering how to study and apply the main tactics for achieving system qualities such as scalability, performance, security, and fault tolerance. Automation is extremely important for efficient operation of cloud systems. IaaS/PaaS providers enable us to automatically provision and manage cloud resources, set up monitoring, and react to changes and failures in our application. We’ll discuss the most important automation scenarios.

High-Performance Application Design
Since software developers often have to deal with problems of designing high-load systems to support big data processing with preset requirements to the response time and amount of data, this training will be useful not only for architects but also for project managers and senior developers.
Microservice Architecture
An introduction of the main concepts of microservice architecture (MSA). We focus on the notion of microservice architecture in connection with “traditional” methods for building a system. Microservice architecture patterns are discussed as well as MSA deployment issues and methods for ensuring required qualities.
