Standards and Protocols Review and Summary

A review of the briefing topics and summary of the program.

Course Overview

Course in a Nutshell

The underlying protocols, message formats, and exchanges are what make the architectures work. This course will review the predominant protocols, their standards, and operation using a detail-level presentation on cloud computing standards and protocols.

 

Customize It!

This briefing can be scheduled as a full three, four or five day standalone course or as a part of a larger curriculum with other courses.

 

Learn How To

  • Identify and differentiate all major Cloud Computing standards and protocols
  • Choose the right standards and protocols for specific tasks and applications
  • Implement lower and upper layer standards
  • Differentiate Cloud-only standards and protocols from standards and protocols which may be used in non-cloud applications
  • Specify and implement user-side and cloud-side protocols
Audience / Prerequisites

Aimed At

Persons responsible for the implementation and/or ongoing support and troubleshooting of cloud computing environments, either from the service provider or user side, will benefit most from this course.

 

Prerequisites

Knowledge of operations of packet based networks is a pre-requisite. Prior experience with the open source WireShark™ network traffic analyzer is also beneficial.
