Cloud Workload Planning

Youï¿½ve researched cloud providers and decided on one or more that will fit your needs, and now you need to plan your workload migration. It is time to gather a team and take a very close look at your workloads, users, access needs, security risks and, most importantly, budget. You also need to plan how you will scale your cloud solution as your business grows, and put an exit plan in place.

Migrating all or part of your business to the cloud will impact your organization in various ways, but you can minimize that impact by having a proper plan in place. Through hands-on exercises based on a case study, this course will take you through the planning stages for a variety of workloads.

You will leave this class with the tools and information you need to create a comprehensive migration plan for your company.

This course will be available in August 2017.
