Security & Operation Management with Oracle Cloud Infra(OCI)

The technology world is in midst of digital transformation.

The transformation from On-premise infrastructure to cloud infrastructure is one among them & it’s a top priority for any organization.

Most fortune 500 companies have invested in cloud infrastructure solutions at the same time there is also a learning curve, such as how to securely & effectively use cloud infrastructure like any on-premise Infrastructure.

This course teaches about provisioning Virtual machines on OCI and accessing VM & cloud resources through command line interface & SDK from a programming perspective.  Learn and understand the importance of  Identity and Access Management.

Identity and access management is generally overlooked by cloud business users & administrators. This is one tool that, if effectively managed, would not find any difference between various On-promises servers &  application provisioning. It will provide a seamless experience in the virtual cloud world like any other discrete on-premise server or application. So learn about isolation through compartment and assignment of uses roles & responsibility through a policy statement.

You would also get to understand & learn concepts of the Load balancer and other associated features like Domain name management. Also, Infrastructure as code (IAC) and Terraform are now gaining ground as to how one can provision multiple cloud resources through Code (IAC). Get an understanding of terraform as a service which is offered as a stack in OCI

Finally get an overview of other security features like Web application firewall, Cloud Gaurd and Vault.
