CompTIA Cloud+: Cloud Component Integration

IN THIS COURSE

• 1.  Course Overview
  2m 16s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about the course and your instructor. In this class, you’ll learn about subscription services like file and data, communication, email, voice over IP, messaging, and collaboration and architectural services such as virtual desktop, infrastructure, directory and identity services, and features of the three main cloud service models of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. Next, you’ll learn how to provision and integrate compute, storage, and network resources for a cloud solution. FREE ACCESS
• 2.  Subscription Services Integration
  7m 42s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about the subscription services available in the cloud and how they can be integrated as your solution develops. You’ll begin with file or storage subscriptions. You’ll also learn there are alternatives available for virtual private networks that complement or augment the need for a VPN. Storage and file subscriptions allow your users to upload files to a centralized cloud storage location, synchronize them with local copies, and share them. FREE ACCESS
• 3.  Architectural Services Integration
  14m 21s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about some architectural components that can be integrated into your cloud solution beginning with Virtual Desktop Infrastructure or VDI. VDI solutions offer hosted desktop environments that run from centralized virtual machines in your cloud environment. You’ll discover you can establish remote sessions into that server and have access to the virtual desktops that represent the configurations that are required for the applications your organizations need to run. FREE ACCESS
• 4.  Provisioning Resources
  6m 41s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about fundamental resources that can be provisioned and integrated into your cloud solution, including compute, storage, and network services. You’ll learn this includes a broad spectrum of services, including components like virtual machines. You’ll learn this also includes specialized services such as app services, which are dedicated managed services for hosting web apps and mobile back-end processes, restful application programming interfaces, and other automated business processes. FREE ACCESS
• 5.  Cloud Applications Integration
  4m 57s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about how you can integrate applications and services into your environment through the use of serverless computing. You’ll learn these can be used to build, develop, and deploy new applications and services without being concerned with infrastructure. FREE ACCESS
• 6.  Virtual Machine Integration
  7m 6s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about integrating virtual machines into your cloud solution. You’ll learn this represents one of the more common resources in many cloud subscriptions. They serve as the basis for many solutions. Virtual machines in the cloud aren't any different from those you create in an on-premises environment. These are software-based instances of a system which really can be thought of as computers within computers. FREE ACCESS
• 7.  Template Integration
  5m 40s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about the use of templates for a virtual machine configuration. You’ll learn this can reduce deployment time when more complex configurations are needed to support certain applications or services that maybe require a number of virtual machines. You’ll learn most providers give you the option to upload your own pre-configured image to create virtual machines manually from that image and then perform installations of any other software required. FREE ACCESS
• 8.  Identity Management Integration
  6m 45s
  In this video, you’ll learn to integrate identity and access management into your cloud solution. You’ll see this provides the basic features of access control, authentication, and authorization. You’ll learn that sometimes services and applications are built first, then identity and access management come afterward. Secondly, you’ll learn there are several different processes and features that are part of identity and access management as a whole. FREE ACCESS
• 9.  Container Integration
  5m 48s
  In this video, you’ll learn how containers can be used to facilitate easier integration of new services and applications into your cloud environment. You’ll learn this can be one of the most effective methods of integrating new solutions because containers provide a packaging method for applications and services, which isolates and decouples them from the environment in which they're meant to run. Containers can be thought of as virtualization for applications. FREE ACCESS
• 10.  Autoscaling Integration
  5m 37s
  In this video, you’ll learn about the process of implementing autoscaling as a component of integration. You’ll discover this doesn't refer to creating new services or applications, rather it's the ability for an existing service to respond to changes by increasing resources when traffic demands are high and relinquish resources when demand is low, which can help reduce costs. You’ll learn autoscaling isn’t specific to any particular application, service, or resource. FREE ACCESS
• 11.  Post-deployment Validation
  2m 47s
  In this video, you’ll learn how post-deployment testing is a key component when it comes to introducing or integrating new services or applications into your cloud environment. This is in the form of a five-step process, including functional testing, assessing integration capabilities, security or vulnerability testing, performance testing, and determining both the ability for the service to scale and the need for it. FREE ACCESS
• 12.  Course Summary
  59s
  In this video, you’ll summarize what you’ve learned in the course. In this course, you’ve learned key components that can be integrated into your cloud solution. You explored integrating subscription and architectural services such as Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Software as a Service into a cloud solution, provisioning and integrating resources for a cloud solution serverless applications and virtual machine integration, and using operating system and solution templates.
