50. Cloud Migrations Module Introduction One of the most interesting experiences I’ve ever had in information technology was being at the AWS conference in Las Vegas one year, many years ago now, actually. But being at that conference and learning about the AWS Snowmobile. If you haven’t researched this yet or heard about it, check […]
47. Virtualization Module Introduction I think you would have to agree that if there’s one technology that really propelled cloud more than anything, other than, of course, the Internet itself, right? We know the Internet is critical here, but what’s the thing that came along and really flourished post-internet creation that enabled all of this? […]
44. Cloud Networking Services Module Introduction Well, as I’m sure you will recall, this is not our first module that’s gonna deal with this subject of networking; one that I’m very passionate about, by the way. No, this isn’t the first module. This is the module though, where we’re gonna focus on really cloud-based networking […]
39. Cloud Storage Module Introduction Yet another area where cloud really shines is with data storage. And data storage has been a massive challenge for information technology and it’s been that way for decades and it keeps getting worse. Everything is digitized now and we wanna store everything in this digital form for sometimes massively […]
36. Cloud Compute Module Introduction If you are brand new to cloud, a great place for you to really start considering specializing in would be cloud compute. The reason why I say that is it is often very easy, an easy introduction into the world of cloud because you’re building, initially virtual machines as you […]
31. Other Common Cloud Services and Tech Module Introduction Well, when you look at the exam objectives for Cloud+ and you realize it’s like a Stephen King novel, it’s very-very long, it’s very-very broad, the number of topics that we’ve been covering together. One of the things that you know I’m gonna have to do […]
27. Security Controls Module Introduction We certainly understood before even enrolling in this course that there were many potential security attackers and many potential security attacks that we might encounter with any IT environment, never mind the cloud. Well, in this important module we’re gonna discuss some, just some, of the many powerful security controls […]
21. Networking Module Introduction As you might guess, for instructors like myself that have been in information technology for way too long, when we’re teaching a CompTIA subject like this, we often have to really be careful. We have to reel ourselves in from getting too carried away in any one area because that area […]
16. Identification and Authorization Module Introduction We know that if we implement cloud technologies properly we can actually improve the security posture of our organization, but this does not come automatically. As a matter of fact, we need to attend to identifying those individuals that wanna interact with our cloud resources and we need to […]
11. Advanced Design Topics Module Introduction In this module, we wanna take a look at some advanced design topics. For example, what kind of considerations should we factor in when we’re planning on capacity issues in the cloud. And shouldn’t the cloud be able to be elastic, scaling up and scaling down as we need? […]
