Adopting the appropriate operational principle when managing cloud resources is vital in deriving an operational model that facilitates efficient and effective cloud implementation. In this course, you'll learn how to achieve a model like this.
You'll start by outlining the differences between cloud and traditional data management before investigating cloud data management in more detail. You'll then examine cloud data replication and the methods and schemes used to do this.
Moving on, you'll explore cloud storage and backup options and how to set up a cloud backup, the use of AWS Regions and Availability Zones, geo-redundancy design considerations, and the cloud architectural elements used to implement disposable resources.
Finally, you'll clarify what's meant by cloud optimization and cloud metrics, monitoring, and alerting. You'll then end by implementing autoscaling in AWS, setting up AWS cloud resource monitoring, and centrally managing and automating backups across AWS services.

Objectives

CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002): Operations within Cloud discover the key concepts covered in this course compare the differences between cloud and traditional data management along with the capabilities, values, and benefits afforded by data management in the cloud describe the concept of cloud data replication and the benefits of data replication in the cloud recall the data replication methods used to replicate data and the data replication schemes used for replication to fulfil business requirements list the types of storage and backups supported by cloud and the steps involved in setting up a cloud backup describe the use of AWS Regions and Availability Zones to implement high availability in the cloud list the critical factors to consider when designing for geo redundancy recall the cloud architectural elements that can be used to implement disposable resources describe the concept of metrics, monitoring, and alerting in the cloud along with the different types of values and information that can be monitored and tracked to gain visibility recognize the benefits of cloud optimization and the different strategies that can be used to optimize cloud resources demonstrate how to implement autoscaling in AWS using AWS Config implement monitoring for AWS cloud resources using AWS CloudWatch demonstrate the steps to centrally manage and automate backups across AWS services summarize the key concepts covered in this course
