Patching Methodologies methodology to patching. Let’s go ahead and discuss ways to manage your virtual machines in the cloud. Now, this is specifically focused on infrastructure as a service because, essentially, with Pass and SAS, you likely won’t be managing any virtual machines in most cases; however, that is not always the case, but generally what you would see as possible. Some passes allow you to configure some virtual machine capabilities per se, but in general, this is really focused on infrastructure as a service. When you’re maintaining your cloud…

Remote Access Tools Let’s talk about remote access tools. Essentially, you’re going to need to access your cloud resources, and of course there are several different ways to do that. We’re going to focus mainly on the ways that the exam is going to expect you to understand how to access your cloud resources. The first thing to note is, of course, to use the right tool to access and manage your cloud resources. There are a few different approaches you could take. The first is, of course, the SNMP…

APIs APIs application Programming Interfaces Let’s discuss APIs in the sense that knowing what they are is really all you need to know. For the exam, I will touch on the different types of APIs and some other factories that might be of interest. APIs, or application and programme interfaces, This is the code that allows two software programmes to generally communicate with each other generally. For example, in order to access Amazon Web Services from a mobile device, such as an iPad, you must first download the APIs. In…

Security Policies Let’s talk about company security policies. It is fairly standard for an organisation to define what is acceptable use of its computer assets as well as the proper response to specific security issues. What is the preferred method for addressing threats? Security policy can entail many different things, but in general, let’s just talk about what a security policy should essentially deal with. Security policies govern the processes and procedures taken to protect business or privacy information from intrusion by the use of IT systems or cloud resources….

Sizing Memory When it comes to deploying resources, an area that typically has a lot of confusion Tied to it is: how much memory do I really need? Once again, it’s fairly well known that typically having more memory is a better option than having too little memory, especially when it comes to specific types of applications. So let’s talk about when we store memory in the cloud. Some of the areas you’ll want to know about and be aware of for the Cloud Plus Exam You can certainly expect…

Demo- Uptime Calculator So if you want an easy way to figure out how much downtime comes with an SLA, then this is a good tool. It’s a very simple, rudimentary tool, but it works pretty well. So, for example, let’s go over to AWS and type it in. See? Two service level agreements Just give me a second here. Okay, there it is. So, let’s go over here, where it says Amazon Web Services (AWS) compute service level agreement. Okay. So if you scroll down, you can see that…

Cloud Automation Automation and workflows Let’s proceed and talk about why automation and having workflows are important to your cloud architecture. Automation is the completion of a single task without human intervention. So just be aware that automation does play a very important role when it comes to cloud services. Automation is essentially software, which is typically going to be what? A number of scripts or programmers are written to ensure that, for example, the deployment or monitoring of your cloud services is done correctly. Orchestration, on the other hand,…

Cloud Architecture Analysis Let’s go ahead and talk about cloud architecture analysis. It’s critical to understand a few things in this specific subdomain. The first is that “cloud architecture” refers to the components required for the cloud platform. These components are part of the front end or the back end of the cloud. Cloud computing, for example, is a more comprehensive approach. When it comes to migrating applications, it’s important to consider both the front end and the back end. Now, of course, as the customer, you’re not going to…

Rightscale CloudCompare Here’s a tool that I’d like to share with you that I think is a really nice tool to help you, whether you’re an architect or presales perhaps could be a useful tool. Or, for example, you’re working at a company that’s just getting started in the cloud and trying to understand some of the differences between the major cloud providers. This resource is by a company called Right Scale, and Write scale is one of the leaders when it comes to cloud platforms and research around the…

CompTIA Certification I’m over here at the CompTIA certification web page. Now CompTIA has, as you’re likely aware, a fair number of certifications available for you to test and validate your knowledge and skill set. Of course, the question now is determining what level of service certification, what type of certification, and what areas of specialization are required. So CompTIA has its core certifications. These are the re certifications. Then you have infrastructure, which is more focused on specific areas. You have both cyber security and what is considered additional…
