This three-course specialisation examines the infrastructure, technologies, and management practices that support cloud environments. You will begin with data centres, virtualisation, deployment models, and migration strategies, then explore cloud networking, security, and service reliability. The final course covers storage technologies and resource management, helping you weigh performance, availability, cost, and environmental considerations when making cloud engineering decisions.
Applied Learning Project
The activities follow three stages: in Stage 1 (Course 1), you propose cloud infrastructure and a deployment and migration approach for an organisation; in Stage 2 (Course 2), you recommend a networking approach and examine data protection, access, and reliability requirements; in Stage 3 (Course 3), you recommend storage solutions and identify ways to improve resource efficiency. Practice assignments, role-play, and dialogue activities ask you to explain these choices in organisational scenarios and consider the trade-offs involved.
