In the two-day Red Hat Cloud Architecture (CL350) course, IT architects will gain a detailed understanding of Red Hat cloud capabilities and gain the knowledge needed to select the right components and develop applications for your organization's private cloud. You will participate in a detailed, task-oriented introduction to infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud computing by exploring a private cloud computing reference architecture built with Red Hat software.

Throughout the course, you will perform tasks using this private cloud, including deploying hypervisor hosts, deploying virtual machines in the cloud, and managing the virtual machine lifecycle and resources. In addition to exploring the deployment and unified management of distributed applications across hosted, in-house, or hybrid cloud resources, you will learn how these flexible systems can easily shift or scale to meet changing needs

What You'll Learn

• Vocabulary for describing cloud services and deployments
• Managing the deployment and lifecycle of virtual guests using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager
• Deploying software to Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems using Red Hat Network Satellite
• Deploying JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) applications using JBoss Operations Network (JBoss ON)
• Efficiently scheduling work with Red Hat MRG Grid
• Basics of Red Hat CloudForms, an evolving product for integrating private and public clouds into a unified hybrid cloud

Who Needs to Attend

• Experienced Linux system administrators and IT professionals who are responsible for using Red Hat technologies to deploy a cloud technologies
