Cloud Operations on AWS (formerly Systems Operations) with AWS Jam

Dieser Kurs vermittelt Systembetreibern und allen, die Funktionen für den Cloud-Betrieb ausführen, wie man und den Betrieb von automatisierbaren und wiederholbaren Bereitstellungen von Netzwerken und Systemen auf AWS. Sie lernen über Funktionen des Cloud-Betriebs, wie z. B. Installation, Konfiguration, Automatisierung, Überwachung, Sicherung, Wartung und Fehlerbehebung dieser Dienste, Netzwerke und Systeme. Der Kurs behandelt auch spezifische AWS-Funktionen, Tools und Best Practices im Zusammenhang mit diesen Funktionen. Der letzte Tag ist ein AWS Jam, ein spielerisches Ereignis, bei dem Teams um Punkte konkurrieren, indem sie eine eine Reihe von Herausforderungen nach bewährten Verfahren, die auf den im Kurs behandelten Konzepten basieren. Sie erleben eine breite Palette von AWS-Services in einer Reihe von realen Szenarien, die häufige Betriebs- und Fehlerbehebungsaufgaben darstellen. Das Endergebnis ist das Entwickeln, Verbessern und Validieren Ihrer Fähigkeiten in der AWS Cloud durch das Lösen von Problemen in der Praxis, das Erforschen neuer Services, Funktionen und Verständnis ihres Zusammenspiels.
