Content
Traditional management of IT infrastructure involved careful coordination between experts such as systems, networks, databases, security, and applications in a highly manual and error prone process of developing, deploying, updating, and managing the services of a network. As the number and complexity of network services deployed in organisations has accelerated over the years, the traditional approach is no longer sustainable. Automation is a key feature of modern data centres, achieved through the application of virtualization and cloud technologies, which are controlled through the various APIs that they expose.
In SIT727 we examine how different resources are represented in public and private clouds and how they are applied in the deployment of complex network services and applications. Students will learn the potential impacts of alternative strategies for deploying network services and applications, and how to prepare computing infrastructure for the application of cloud orchestration frameworks, to prepare applications for deployment, and to automate the deployment and maintenance of applications throughout their lifecycle.
