Introduction to the course and to Michelle Sollicito.
Michelle Sollicito has 35+ years experience in the Software industry and is an AWS Solution Architect Professional as well as being certified in AWS Security specialty and AWS Data analytics specialty. She is also a Google Certified Professional Architect. She has a number of years experience in Microsoft technologies including 2 years in Azure Cloud, and is certified in Azure, C#, .Net and SQL Server 2014. She is also certified in many other technologies.
Michelle is a big proponent of Diversity Equity and Inclusion, hence the rainbow on the logo. Michelle has a meetup group for Out Loud Cloud proponents to learn all about the cloud and a meetup group called WITCHES allowing women to learn all about the Cloud. See resources.
This lecture takes you through some of the resources in lecture 4 - please make sure you see ALL the resources in ALL the lectures - as I think some of the best content is in the Resources!
Cloud Architectures in a little more depth - mostly Google Cloud but covers others also
This section has a number of resources that are useful to those looking at Cloud architectures or multi-cloud architectures.
Please note that this course consists of many lectures. Some of the lectures may seem to repeat the content of other lectures but my students find that hearing the same content in different ways helps with learning that content more fully. Part 1 is an introduction to the components in Google Cloud
An intro session to all things Google Cloud
Part 2 goes into a little more depth in Google Cloud
Please note that this course consists of many lectures. Some of the lectures may seem to repeat the content of other lectures but my students find that hearing the same content in different ways helps with learning that content more fully.
Round table about AWS Azure and GCP - multi cloud
An introduction to AWS and Azure
Mainly about AWS with some Azure
This section has a number of resources that are useful to those looking at Cloud architectures or multi-cloud architectures.
Coming soon..
Big Data - Big Volume, Big Variety and Big Velocity are the three main characteristics that may make your project a Big Data project. Learn here about Data Lakes, Data Warehouses and Data Lake Houses. Learn about Apache tools like Hadoop, HDFS, Spark, Hive, Pig etc.
AWS implements Hadoop as an option in EMR (Elastic Map Reduce/HDFS). It is possible to use Hive, Pig, Spark etc. in that environment, see here:
https://aws.amazon.com/emr/features/hadoop/
Here is a great overview of the Apache Hadoop overall architecture:

This section has a number of resources that are useful to those looking at DevSecOps in the Cloud including cheat sheets and docs on git, python, terraform etc.
Takes you through - what is big data? what architectures are there on big data projects? What are the latest technologies in Big Data etc.
Featuring:
- The three main clouds to Professional Architect level - AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
- AI and ML in the cloud (and why Big Data/Data Analytics is so important for AI and ML)
- Cloud decision tree for AWS and for Azure!
