Key training modules
Comprehensive, hands-on modules designed to take you from basics to advanced concepts
- Module 1: Cloud-Native Principles (Modern Hosting Mindset)
- Cloud-native principles (elasticity, managed services, automation-first)
- Traditional hosting vs cloud-native (pets vs cattle, scaling, resilience)
- Shared responsibility model (what you manage vs what cloud manages)
- Cloud-native architecture patterns (stateless services, managed dependencies)
- Hands-on: Activity: Classify workloads as VM-based, container-based, or cloud-native managed services
- Module 2: Serverless Fundamentals (Benefits and Trade-Offs)
- What serverless is (functions, managed runtimes, event triggers)
- Benefits (cost, scaling, faster delivery, reduced ops)
- Trade-offs (cold starts, timeouts, debugging complexity)
- Serverless vs containers vs Kubernetes decision guide
- Hands-on: Activity: Pick 5 real business use cases and decide if serverless is a fit
- Module 3: Serverless Use Cases (APIs, Automation, Background Jobs)
- Best-fit use cases for serverless HTTP APIs
- Automation workflows (file processing, notifications, integrations)
- Background processing with queues and workers
- Scheduled jobs and cron triggers for batch tasks
- Hands-on: Lab: Design a serverless workload blueprint for API + worker + scheduler
- Module 4: Build and Deploy Serverless Functions with Managed Storage
- Function project structure and deployment workflow
- Integrating object storage (uploads, event triggers, metadata patterns)
- Storage integration patterns (API writes + storage event processing)
- Handling errors and designing idempotent writes
- Hands-on: Lab: Build a serverless function that stores files in object storage and writes metadata to a managed store
- Module 5: Event-Driven Systems with Queues, Pub/Sub, Retries, and DLQ
- Event-driven architecture fundamentals (decoupling, asynchronous processing)
- Queues vs pub/sub (fan-out vs single consumer patterns)
- Retries, visibility timeouts, and poison message handling
- DLQ design and operational workflow
- Hands-on: Lab: Implement API → queue → worker pipeline with retry and DLQ handling
- Module 6: Secure Access Patterns with IAM Least Privilege
- IAM roles and service identities for serverless workloads
- Least privilege policy design and common pitfalls
- Secure access between functions and services (storage, queue, database)
- Permission boundaries and environment separation concepts
- Hands-on: Lab: Apply IAM roles to functions and validate restricted access behavior
- Module 7: Secure Secrets Handling (No Hardcoding)
- Why secrets must never be stored in code or container images
- Secrets manager concepts (versioning, rotation awareness)
- Safe configuration patterns (env vars, secure parameter injection)
- Secret leak response workflow (rotate, revoke, audit)
- Hands-on: Lab: Inject secrets securely into functions and validate they are not exposed in logs
- Module 8: Serverless Reliability Practices (Idempotency, Timeouts, Backoff)
- Idempotency patterns for APIs and workers
- Timeout design and why it prevents cascading failures
- Exponential backoff retries and what not to retry
- Designing safe consumers for at-least-once delivery
- Hands-on: Lab: Add idempotency key + backoff retry logic and test duplicate event handling
- Module 9: Observability for Serverless (Logs, Metrics, Alerting)
- Observability basics (logs vs metrics vs traces overview)
- Structured logging and correlation id patterns
- Key metrics for serverless (invocations, errors, duration, throttles)
- Alerting on failures and latency (symptom-based monitoring)
- Hands-on: Lab: Build dashboards/alerts for API errors, worker failures, and DLQ growth
- Module 10: Mini Project (End-to-End Cloud-Native + Serverless System)
- Capstone goal: Build a complete serverless workflow with API + async processing
- HTTP API validates request and writes to managed storage
- Queue/pubsub triggers background worker function
- Implement IAM least privilege and secure secrets handling
- Add retries, DLQ, and observability for production-style readiness
- Hands-on: Mini Capstone: Deliver working workflow with logs, metrics, alerts, and documentation
