CompTIA Cloud+: Troubleshooting Cloud Deployments

IN THIS COURSE

• 1.  Course Overview
  2m 1s
  In this video, you’ll learn more about the course and your instructor. In this course, you’ll learn some common causes of deployment issues. You’ll explore service outages, failures, and the need for a disaster recovery plan. Next, you’ll learn to troubleshoot performance and degradation issues and how these issues can relate to capacity planning. Then you’ll see how automation scripts can cause deployment issues and how good scripts validate and perform rollbacks on failure. FREE ACCESS
• 2.  Deployment Connectivity Issues
  6m 51s
  In this video, you’ll examine a variety of problems or misconfigurations that can result in service outages and indicate the need for a disaster recovery plan. You’ll start by looking at network misconfigurations. You’ll see the configuration of your network dictates how things behave within that network. Therefore, misconfigurations can lead to performance issues or an entire network failure. FREE ACCESS
• 3.  Deployment Performance Issues
  9m 4s
  In this video, you’ll examine how to troubleshoot performance degradation issues for new or existing deployments in the cloud that are related to latency. Latency is important because of the inherent nature of cloud deployments. They exist on the internet; they are not something you’re implementing within your on-premises environment. The application or solution will be accessed over the internet. Latency is the time between a client’s request and the cloud provider's response. FREE ACCESS
• 4.  Deployment Configuration Issues
  9m 1s
  In this video, you’ll see how automation scripts in the cloud can sometimes cause issues with the deployment and administration of your environment. There are many benefits of scripting and automation of tasks such as deploying applications and other resources. But while scripting is the component that brings everything together, if there are problems with the script itself, then your deployments will either fail or will not perform as expected. FREE ACCESS
• 5.  Deployment Issues with Applications in Containers
  8m 22s
  In this video, you’ll examine some considerations for deploying applications using containers in the cloud. You’ll see containers provide a logical packaging mechanism for applications so they can be treated as isolated instances of the application that do not require installation. Everything that is necessary to support the application is contained within the container. Cloud containers are abstracted from the operating system. FREE ACCESS
• 6.  Misconfigured Template Deployment Issues
  5m 34s
  In this video, you’ll look at deploying solutions through the use of templates. You’ll see that templates themselves are separate files that define a set of resources that can then be assembled in a consistent manner to produce the same result. Templates can be used across many different types of deployments. They make it easier to replicate solutions and troubleshoot issues if they arise because you know the solution was generated from the same template. FREE ACCESS
• 7.  Tag Deployment Issues
  6m 28s
  In this video, you’ll learn about using cloud tags, which can be used to help categorize the resources that you have created within your cloud environment. You’ll see the implementation of tags will vary from one cloud provider to the next, but in general, they provide the same service. Tags are designed to help manage your resources more effectively. However, excessive tagging can make it more difficult to manage your resources. FREE ACCESS
• 8.  Capacity Deployment Issues
  9m 2s
  In this video, you’ll learn about capacity planning and how insufficient capacity can result in degradation and or latency issues with any kind of deployment. You’ll see one of the key factors when it comes to capacity planning is focusing on understanding the demand of your workloads and matching the appropriate resources to that demand. Capacity planning is based on future demands as much as current demands. FREE ACCESS
• 9.  Licensing Deployment Issues
  14m 40s
  In this video, you’ll learn different options for managing cloud licensing. You’ll see the two most common models are pay-as-you-go and subscription-based. Depending on the cloud provider, you may see different terms. You’ll see pay-as-you-go can be part of a subscription. The difference is simply how you pay. For example, you might start a subscription and not have to pay for anything until you actually create a resource. FREE ACCESS
• 10.  Vendor-related Deployment Issues
  9m 43s
  In this video, you’ll examine some considerations where the vendors may come into play with respect to difficulties when considering cloud migration options. This will begin with the service model you’re considering. These include Infrastructure as a Service, where you’ll begin with resources considered to be physical, even though there's no physical hardware. These include components such as virtual machines and virtual networking. Then you have Software as a Service, where there’s essentially no infrastructure. FREE ACCESS
• 11.  Performing Template-based Deployments in the Cloud
  6m 55s
  In this video, you’ll look at creating resources in the cloud using a template-based deployment. This can vary depending on the type of resources you need. Using a template is can help reduce errors and make more consistent configurations because everything gets defined as per the specifications of the template. You can create repeatable configurations. You’ll see a demo onscreen. FREE ACCESS
• 12.  Course Summary
  47s
  In this video, you’ll summarize what you’ve learned in this course. You’ve examined some common causes of cloud deployment issues. You explored connectivity, performance, and configuration issues related to cloud deployments, troubleshooting issues with applications in containers, issues with misconfigured templates, using tags for troubleshooting issues, capacity and licensing issues and their effect on deployment, troubleshooting vendor-related deployment issues, and using template-based deployments.
