Cybersecurity and ITCloud Infrastructure Architecture and Administration
Cloud infrastructure removes the constraint that used to limit how much an organisation could build, and consumption pricing means an architecture mistake bills every hour until somebody notices. This course covers building it deliberately. Delegates work through the service models and what each shifts to the provider, compute, storage and networking as they are configured in a cloud environment, and identity as the primary control surface. Availability, regions and resilience design are covered against realistic requirements. Infrastructure as code and repeatable deployment follow. Cost architecture and consumption control are treated as design concerns rather than as an afterthought. The course closes on hybrid and connectivity to on premises systems, and on the shared responsibility boundary.
