Basic Foundations in Cisco AppDynamics, DevOps, IT Operations basic Skills, Networking and General Problem Solving mentality

Description

Proactive Application Performance Management (APM) or Monitoring that provides deep level visibility across all touch points of enterprise application ecosystem is the key for not just to have customer satisfaction but also customer retention.

Deploying a robust high availability environment and understanding its dynamics can be a challenge for most APM engineers.

Become an expert in Designing, Implementing and Managing AppDynamics Core platform to support mission critical environment. Learn from a heavily hands on perspective what you need for real world AppDynamics installation and exam certification.

In this advanced administration course we will explore deep troubleshooting skills required to be a good AppDynamics backend administrator or Implementation Engineer. We will be working as an APM consultant for a prototype new generation bank and will be expected to deliver cutting edge skills to satisfy business goals at every point in time.

We will begin with exploring platform design concept leveraging on key AppDynamics design best practices. From here we will begin with full stack Implementation covering both single instance and high availability installations. From a fully available platform we will begin our journey into the world of core management tips and tricks, upgrades of old AppDynamics controller environment etc.

While our platform is fully operational, we will dive into deep level troubleshooting with specifics from some of the real world production environment.

Join me as we explore Cisco AppDynamics Controller Platform Advanced Administration!!!!!!!
