Presentation
In a constantly evolving digital world, cloud infrastructure management raises major challenges, particularly in terms of environmental impact. This introductory course equips you with the essential skills to optimise your cloud infrastructure, reducing its carbon footprint while optimising costs and performance.
This training programme will help you understand Green Cloud Computing challenges, identify the most effective methods for reducing cloud infrastructure carbon footprints, and explore technologies and tools that optimise energy consumption. You will also learn to design sustainable cloud architectures and integrate resource optimisation strategies into this computing ecosystem.
By the end of this 2-day course, you will be able to manage cloud infrastructure in an environmentally responsible way. You will be able to independently apply virtualisation and containerisation strategies and integrate Green Cloud principles into DevOps and CI/CD.
