This extensive 5 days course covers all knowledge and practices that are needed to achieve the certification for MicroServices Certified Architect.
This course provides an easy to understand, end-to-end overview of contemporary service concepts and technologies pertaining to modern-day microservices and service-oriented computing, as well as business and technology-related topics pertaining to service-oriented architecture (SOA).
This course also focuses on modern service technologies, models and concepts that have established de facto implementation mediums for building contemporary services-based solutions. Also covered are fundamental terms, concepts and models pertaining to cloud computing and cloud-based services.
In addition to the above, the course establishes foundational microservice architecture and design models and further introduces containerization concepts and container characteristics. Topics covered include microservice deployment, provisioning, registration and isolation levels, as well as logical containers, PODs and composition architecture.
This course also provides a patterns-centric, in-depth exploration of the practices, models and technology architectures behind microservices and containerization. Topics include microservice scaling, data management and autonomous ownership and versioning, as well as event sourcing, CQRS, composite isolated containers and container hosting models.
The course concludes with a hands-on workshop that allows attendees to apply the concepts, processes, techniques, patterns and principles previously covered in order to a complete a set of architectural and design exercises pertaining to microservices and the use of containerization.
