Cloud Application Architecture

    

Summary:
This workshop helps attendees understand the rapidly developing world of cloud computing. It provides a hands-on workshop illustrating the concepts and practical actions associated with deployment and development of a traditional LAMPP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP, and Python) application on Amazon Web Serves Elastic Compute Cloud (AWS EC2).While the term "cloud computing" is widely known, its characteristics, architectural constraints, and details of application life cycle are less widely understood. The Cloud Application Architecture Workshop clears the fog regarding cloud computing and enables organization technologists to clearly grasp the potential of cloud computing for their future IT initiatives and the impact it may have on their application life cycle management.

Duration:
4 Days/Lecture & Lab

Audience:
Hands-on IT managers and those assessing the potential for cloud computing in their organization-System architects designing cloud computing-based systems-IT operations engineers responsible for infrastructure services-Application engineers responsible for deploying or managing cloud applications

Topics:

• Cloud computing architectures and impact on application design
• Managing EC2 cloud infrastructures
• Ensuring data privacy, storage persistence, and reliable DBMS backup
• Ensuring robustness and scalability on demand
• Creating a cloud application system development life cycle (SDLC)

Prerequisites:
The only mandatory requirement is a notebook with Wi-Fi connectivity and familiarity with a text editor like vi, emacs, or TextEdit. All system and application components for the workshop will be provided. No application programming or shell script programming skills will be required since all scripts are provided along with detailed instructions on how to customize them and the corresponding application configuration files. However it would be beneficial (though not essential) if the student had basic familiarity or prior experience with:-Basics of Linux startup/shutdown sequences-ssh-Apache startup/shutdown and configuration-MySQL startup/shutdown and configuration
