Microservices Engineering Boot Camp

Learn a Practical Approach to Microservices and Get Hands-on Practice With the Real-world Toolchain.ï¿½For IT professionals, developers, software engineers, and DevOps practitioners ï¿½ microservices training provides the technical practices and tooling fundamentals necessary to begin realizing the benefits of microservices as a foundation for IT architecture, software engineering, and service/release delivery. The workshop includes 16 hands-on exercises which give you real-world practice on the engineering tools and skills a team needs in order to realistically implement your own flavor of Microservices architecture patterns so you can address the team needs of your own organization.microservices training course brochure

Whether you want to create new services, decouple a few services from your overall architecture, or refactor an entire monolithic architecture into a microservice design pattern, this course quickly teaches you the practical toolset and skills to get up and running with microservices in your own systems. Loosely coupled components and services allow teams to deploy more freely and independently, with less risk to the architecture.

Get Your Entire Team Ready for Microservices Architecture
Conwayï¿½s law states that the interface structure of a software system will reflect the social structure of the organization that produced it. So if you want to design microservices architecture, you will likely need to restructure the way your team operates. To learn how you can get your entire team trained on microservices at a discounted rate, have a learning advisor contact you or request more information about our onsite services by using the forms on the left-hand side.

Running Container-Enabled Microservices on AWS

The course highlights the challenges of running containerized applications at scale and provides guidance on creating and using Amazon ECS to develop and deploy containerized microservices-based applications. In the hands-on lab exercises, you will use Amazon ECS to handle long-running services, build and deploy container images, link services together, and scale capacity to meet demand. This bootcamp also discusses how to run container workers for asynchronous application processes.

Data Modeling

Since a business analyst needs to accurately elicit, define, and document user requirements, understanding the users’ needs is key to an analyst’s success. By using logical data modeling, a business analyst can convey requirements in a way that can easily be validated, and doing so allows stakeholders to understand the requirements, business rules, and data management methods for any given project.

In this class, get hands-on practice modeling requirements through entity relationship diagrams, supertypes and subtypes, and attributive and associative entities. You will learn to use logical data modeling to work directly with business users to accurately define requirements.

Students pursuing a university-recognized and/or accredited certificate in Canada or continuing education units in the US must attend at least 90% of class time, participate in class exercises and section-knowledge checks, and score at least 70% on an end-of-class, multiple-choice assessment.
