Study Notes
Cloud Software Stack
- A set of software components that make up the cloud infrastructure
- Includes:
- Hypervisor (e.g. VMware, KVM)
- Operating System (e.g. Linux, Windows)
- Cloud management platform (e.g. OpenStack, VMware vCloud)
- Orchestration tools (e.g. Ansible, Puppet)
- Monitoring and logging tools (e.g. Nagios, ELK Stack)
- Enables provisioning, management, and automation of cloud resources
Data Center Management And Operations
- Involves planning, design, and operation of data center infrastructure
- Includes:
- Capacity planning and management
- Resource allocation and optimization
- Performance monitoring and troubleshooting
- Security and access control
- Disaster recovery and business continuity planning
- Goals:
- Ensure high availability and uptime
- Optimize resource utilization
- Minimize costs and improve efficiency
- Ensure compliance with regulations and standards
System Configuration And Deployment
- Involves designing, implementing, and maintaining system configurations
- Includes:
- Server configuration and deployment
- Network configuration and deployment
- Storage configuration and deployment
- Application deployment and management
- Tools and technologies used:
- Configuration management tools (e.g. Ansible, Puppet)
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g. Terraform, AWS CloudFormation)
- Automated deployment scripts (e.g. bash, Python)
Cloud Infrastructure Architecture
- Refers to the design and implementation of cloud infrastructure components
- Includes:
- Compute resources (e.g. servers, instances)
- Storage resources (e.g. block storage, object storage)
- Network resources (e.g. routers, switches, firewalls)
- Security resources (e.g. access control, encryption)
- Goals:
- Ensure scalability and flexibility
- Optimize resource utilization
- Ensure high availability and uptime
- Meet security and compliance requirements
Data Center Hardware Components
- Includes:
- Servers (e.g. rack-mounted, blade, tower)
- Storage systems (e.g. SAN, NAS, DAS)
- Network devices (e.g. routers, switches, firewalls)
- Cooling and power systems (e.g. UPS, generators)
- Rack and cabinet infrastructure
- Considerations:
- Performance and capacity planning
- Power and cooling requirements
- Space and layout planning
- Redundancy and failover capabilities
