And gives you hands-on examples of your skills you can talk about in interviews.

Which technical domains are covered in this course?

The course covers key domains including cloud infrastructure, cloud deployment, and distributed system design. It also incorporates cloud security, cloud automation, and reliability practices such as cloud monitoring and recovery.

What tools and platforms will you be exposed to?

You will apply containerization and orchestration concepts through Docker Cloud project, and Kubernetes project implementations. Additionally, you will work with CI/CD pipelines, APIs, and automation techniques relevant to a cloud computing project.

What type of learning experience does this course provide?

This course offers a hands-on, project-based experience centered on designing a scalable cloud system in a hybrid environment. You will engage in architecture design, deployment planning, and operational decision-making throughout the project.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Certificate?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Ready to demonstrate you can design and deliver a production-ready solution? In this capstone, you’ll create a portfolio-ready cloud computing project based on a realistic business scenario.

You’ll gather requirements, model processes, and translate them into hybrid cloud architecture, cloud setup, and cloud deployment decisions to build scalable cloud infrastructure. You’ll design microservices-based applications using REST APIs, package them through a Docker Cloud project, and manage deployments in a Kubernetes project. You’ll also define CI/CD pipelines and apply cloud automation to enable faster, reliable delivery across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Then you’ll reinforce your operational expertise by implementing cloud security, cloud monitoring, and cloud backup and recovery to ensure resilience, compliance, and performance. By the end, you’ll have a portfolio-ready project you can talk about in cloud engineering and cloud architect interviews. Enroll today and get ready to showcase your ability to design and deliver real-world hybrid cloud solutions!

Détails du module

In this module, you'll get oriented with the capstone project's structure, tools, and expectations. You'll explore how the project mirrors a real-world system architecture workflow, leading the early planning phases by creating foundational documents. You’ll identify key stakeholder groups across departments and define architectural goals in alignment with business objectives and regulatory mandates. Further, you'll collect and validate both functional and non-functional enterprise-level requirements, capturing critical factors. You will also analyze business processes and workflows to identify system needs and document requirements to support architecture decisions. This foundation for scalable architectural design prepares you to navigate current and future-state processes using tools such as business requirements documents (BRDs) and software requirements specifications (SRSs).
