This course covers how to build a cloud infrastructure based on a cloud computing reference model. The reference model includes five fundamental layers: physical, virtual and control, service, business continuity, security and cloud service management. For each layer and function this course covers the comprising technologies, components, processes, and mechanisms. The content is based on an open standards approach to describe concepts and technologies, following the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology as a guide for all definitions of cloud computing. After completing this course, students will have acquired knowledge to make informed decisions on technologies, processes, and mechanisms that are required to build a cloud infrastructure. Current Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware Esxi/VSphere software is used in labs to emulate scenarios of basic cloud infrastructure deployments. Also included in the course are components of Microsoft’s curriculum on Windows Server Infrastructure, Installation and Configuration which are part of Exam 70-410.
