This course module presents participants with a series of exercises and problems that are designed to test their ability to apply their knowledge of topics covered previously in course modules 10 and 11. Completing this lab will help highlight areas that require further attention and will further prove hands-on proficiency in the application of cloud governance framework components, models, precepts and processes.

Key Outcomes:

This course builds upon the fundamental models and framework components covered in CCP Module 10 and identifies and describes numerous cloud governance precepts and processes for cloud project.

Students will be able to know:

• Governing the Define Stage
• Governing the Build Stage
• Governing the Test Stage
• Governing the Deliver and Operate Stages
• Governing the Consume Stage
• Governing the End Stage

This course explains IT governance as it pertains to the evolution and regulation of cloud computing environments and assets. Numerous models and framework components are explored to establish highly structured models for identifying and associating formal cloud governance precepts and processes to common cloud project stages.

This module presents participants with a series of exercises and problems that are designed to test their ability to apply their knowledge of topics covered previously in course modules 7 and 8. Completing this lab will help highlight areas that require further attention and will further prove hands-on proficiency in cloud computing security practices, mechanisms, and architectural patterns as they are applied and combined to solve real-world problems.

Key Outcomes:

This advanced course covers cloud security mechanisms and architectural design patterns that address data and access control security for virtual machines, as well as trust boundaries, geotagging and BIOS security.

The course also explains common methods used by attackers to breach organizational resources and provides a methodology for countering such attacks. The course concludes by demonstrating the relationship between threats, attacks, and risks via threat modeling.

Students will be able to know:

This foundational course provides a well-rounded, end-to-end presentation of essential techniques, mechanisms, patterns and industry technologies for establishing cloud-based security controls and security architectures. The cloud security fundamentals covered in Module 2 are continued by introducing threat categorizations and new cloud security mechanisms.

The course then delves into a series of cloud security mechanisms and associated architectural patterns that explore a variety of topics, including cloud network security, identity and access management, and trust assurance.

This course module presents participants with a series of exercises and problems that are designed to test their ability to apply their knowledge of topics covered previously in course modules 4 and 5. Completing this lab will help highlight areas that require further attention and will further prove hands-on proficiency in cloud computing design patterns, technology architecture layers, mechanisms, industry technologies, and practices as they are applied and combined to solve real-world problems.

Key Outcomes:

This course builds upon CCP Module 4 to provide a deep dive into elastic, resilient, multitenant and containerized technology architectures, as well as specialized solution architectures, such as cloud bursting and cloud balancing.

The course organizes content so that architectural layers are explored sequentially and, where appropriate, in relation to each other. Newly introduced primary components are described and shared components across architectural layers are highlighted.

Students will be able to know:

This course provides provides a technical drill-down into the inner workings and mechanics of foundational cloud computing platforms. Private and public cloud environments are dissected into concrete, componentized building blocks (referred to as “patterns”) that individually represent platform feature-sets, functions and/or artifacts, and are collectively applied to establish distinct technology architecture layers.

This course explores a range of the most important and relevant technology-related topics that pertain to contemporary cloud computing platforms. The course content does not get into implementation or programming details, but instead keeps coverage at a conceptual level, focusing on topics that address cloud service architecture, cloud security threats and technologies, virtualization and containerization.
