As a continuation of Modules 4 and 5, this lab-style course provides a series of hands-on exercises that enable participants to apply their knowledge of cloud architecture, cloud computing mechanisms and cloud computing design patterns to solve complex problems.

Participants are required to complete a number of inter-related exercises based on a range of technology architecture case study scenarios. To solve a given problem, participants need to determine the correct combination of cloud computing mechanisms, technologies and design patterns in relation to different cloud deployment and delivery models. Both individual and group exercises are provided. Group exercises can optionally be completed by individuals.
