Storage in the cloud is a crucial component of any cloud-based solution. In this course, you'll learn about the types of cloud storage you can use in your solutions and their features. First, you'll explore how to provision and measure the performance of block, file, object, and flash storage. Next, you'll learn about the different types of RAID arrays and the purpose of user quotas. You'll then move on to examine the protocols used with cloud storage. You'll learn about the features of hyperconverged storage, hyperconverged infrastructures, and software-defined storage. Finally, you'll explore how to create and use an Azure container. This course is one of a collection of courses that prepares learners for the CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) certification.

IN THIS COURSE

  • 1m 42s
    In this video, you’ll learn more about your instructor and the course. In this course, you’ll learn about the types of cloud storage you can use and their features. First, you’ll learn to provision and measure the performance of block, file, object, and flash storage. Next, you’ll discover the different types of storage protocols, RAID arrays, and the purpose of user quotas. Finally, you’ll walk through the features of hyperconverged storage and hyperconverged infrastructure. FREE ACCESS
  • 8m 50s
    In this video, you’ll learn more about the types of storage available in the cloud and how they're provisioned. You’ll learn this includes block storage, file storage, object storage, and available options and providers. You’ll learn the general types of storage are usually consistent from provider to provider. You’ll discover block storage is divided up into blocks or chunks of available storage space and then stores them as separate units. FREE ACCESS

    3.  Cloud Storage Tiers
    5m 20s
    In this video, you’ll learn more about the levels of storage that can be provisioned in the cloud. You’ll learn these are often referred to as tiers, which refers to the actual physical media on which the data resides. You’ll examine hybrid flash, flash, spinning disk, and long-term storage. FREE ACCESS

    4.  Cloud Storage IOPS
    8m 13s
    In this video, you’ll learn more about how to measure the performance of cloud storage using the IOPS or input/output operations per second metric. You’ll also learn more about the different methods of measuring IOPS values, as well as some considerations that can constrain these values and compare transfer rate to the IOPS value. FREE ACCESS
  • Locked
    5.  Cloud Storage Protocols
    11m 32s
    In this video, you’ll learn more about the various storage protocols used to access storage in the cloud. You’ll learn that the infrastructure isn't just your concern in a public cloud, it’s the concern of everyone using the cloud. However, if you’re the provider in a private cloud, then you must be mindful of how you implement your storage solutions for those who will be consuming them, to ensure you provide the appropriate services.

    6.  Cloud RAID Storage
    12m 17s
    In this video, you’ll learn more about Redundant Array of Independent Disks or RAID. You’ll learn this is a mechanism that can be used with storage configurations to increase the ability of that storage array, to survive physical failures with the data intact. You’ll discover that in all cases of a RAID implementation, there are always at least two disks. In most cases many more, but always at least two. FREE ACCESS

    7.  Cloud Storage System Features
    8m 47s
    In this video, you’ll learn more about the potential features of cloud storage that may be available. You’ll learn this includes compression, deduplication, thin provisioning, thick provisioning and replication. You’ll learn the basic approach to how data is compressed is to identify strings of repeating characters, and then replace them with fewer characters sometimes referred to as tokens. FREE ACCESS

    8.  Cloud Storage User Quotas
    5m 31s
    In this video, you’ll learn more about some of the types of quotas that can be implemented in a cloud solution to control the level or the number of resources consumed by a user or a process. You’ll learn this helps balance access so that no individual entity is able to monopolize a resource while other entities are starved. Depending on the solution or service, you may be able to configure disk quotas. FREE ACCESS

    9.  Hyperconverged Infrastructure
    6m 27s
    In this video, you’ll learn more about the characteristics of Hyperconverged Infrastructure, or HCI, and hyperconverged storage. You’ll compare the two models and learn the benefits and drawbacks of each. You’ll learn HCI is a solution an organization might choose to implement in their own on-premises environment, whereas cloud services tend to be provided by a third party. You’ll learn hyperconverged storage can be managed in a more cloud-like manner. FREE ACCESS

    10.  Software-defined Storage
    6m 5s
    In this video, you’ll learn more about Software-defined Storage, or SDS. You’ll learn this is the process of using software applications and policy-based provisioning and management of storage resources independent of the underlying physical hardware. You’ll discover the different types available, look at some use cases, and learn the benefits of having SDS. You’ll also do a comparison of instances with and without an SDS solution. FREE ACCESS

    11.  Provisioning Cloud-based Storage
    7m 37s
    In this video, you’ll watch a demo. In this demonstration, you’ll look at provisioning a cloud-based storage account. You’ll use Microsoft Azure to create a standard storage account. This will allow you to create containers, files, tiles, and other objects. Onscreen, you’ll see you need to go to Marketplace and then search for a storage account. You’ll then click on the account you find. FREE ACCESS

    12.  Course Summary
    52s
    In this video, you’ll summarize what you’ve learned in the course. In this course, you’ve learned about several types of cloud storage and their features. You explored provisioning block, file, object, and flash storage, measuring performance using IOPS, protocols used to communicate with cloud storage, RAID arrays and the features of file storage systems and user quotas, hyperconverged infrastructure and hyperconverged storage, and software-defined storage and creating and provisioning a cloud-based storage account.
