This curriculum spans the technical and governance dimensions of cloud infrastructure setup with a scope and sequence comparable to a multi-workshop advisory engagement for establishing a production-ready cloud environment across global enterprise operations.

Module 1: Cloud Provider Selection and Service Model Alignment

  • Evaluate regional availability of managed services to determine compliance with data sovereignty requirements across operating jurisdictions.
  • Compare SLA terms for compute and storage across AWS, Azure, and GCP to align with application uptime and recovery time objectives (RTO).
  • Assess egress pricing models when designing data-intensive workloads to avoid unexpected operational costs during peak transfer periods.
  • Select between IaaS, PaaS, and container-based services based on application refactoring scope and team DevOps maturity.
  • Negotiate enterprise agreements by projecting three-year usage patterns for reserved instances and committed use discounts.
  • Validate identity federation capabilities with existing SSO providers to ensure seamless integration with corporate identity stores.

Module 2: Landing Zone Design and Multi-Account Architecture

  • Implement AWS Organizations or Azure Management Groups to enforce separation of environments (dev, test, prod) with distinct billing and access controls.
  • Define guardrail policies using SCPs or Azure Policy to restrict region usage and prevent unauthorized service deployment.
  • Architect centralized logging and security account with automated ingestion of CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, and Azure Activity Logs.
  • Configure DNS resolution across VPCs and on-premises networks using private hosted zones and transit gateways.
  • Establish cross-account IAM roles with least privilege for CI/CD pipelines operating across development and production accounts.
  • Design tagging standards enforced at resource creation to support cost allocation and automated governance workflows.

Module 3: Network Architecture and Connectivity

  • Size and deploy AWS Direct Connect or Azure ExpressRoute circuits based on application throughput benchmarks and failover requirements.
  • Implement VPC peering or Transit Gateway routing tables to control traffic flow between application tiers and shared services.
  • Configure NAT gateways with autoscaling considerations to handle burst workloads without IP exhaustion.
  • Design hybrid DNS resolution to resolve on-premises and cloud-hosted services within a unified namespace.
  • Enforce network segmentation using security groups and NSGs that reflect zero-trust principles and application dependency mapping.
  • Plan IP address space allocation across regions and VPCs to prevent overlap during future mergers or migrations.

Module 4: Identity and Access Management Governance

  • Implement identity federation using SAML 2.0 or OIDC to synchronize corporate directory roles with cloud IAM groups.
  • Define and rotate long-term access keys for service accounts using automated credential rotation pipelines.
  • Enforce MFA for privileged roles and configure conditional access policies based on sign-in risk and location.
  • Conduct quarterly access certification reviews using automated reports on inactive IAM users and overprivileged roles.
  • Design role chaining policies with session duration limits to reduce lateral movement risk during administrative tasks.
  • Integrate IAM with SIEM tools to trigger alerts on anomalous activities such as root account usage or console login from new geographies.

Module 5: Data Migration and Storage Strategy

  • Select between offline (Snowball, Azure Data Box) and online data transfer based on dataset size and network bandwidth constraints.
  • Classify data sensitivity to determine encryption requirements and key management approach (KMS, customer-managed keys).
  • Migrate legacy file shares to cloud-native storage using lift-and-shift tools while preserving NTFS permissions.
  • Implement lifecycle policies to transition infrequently accessed data from standard to archive storage tiers.
  • Design multi-region replication for critical databases using native services like S3 Cross-Region Replication or Azure Geo-Redundant Storage.
  • Validate data integrity post-migration using checksum comparisons and automated reconciliation scripts.

Module 6: Security and Compliance Enforcement

  • Deploy automated configuration auditing using AWS Config or Azure Security Center to detect non-compliant resources.
  • Integrate vulnerability scanning into CI/CD pipelines to block deployment of container images with critical CVEs.
  • Implement host-based firewall rules on EC2 and Azure VMs to supplement network-level controls.
  • Configure WAF rules to protect public-facing applications from OWASP Top 10 threats during and after migration.
  • Establish encryption-by-default policies for all EBS volumes, Azure Managed Disks, and object storage buckets.
  • Conduct penetration testing post-migration and remediate findings before decommissioning legacy environments.

Module 7: Automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

  • Standardize Terraform or Bicep module interfaces to ensure consistent deployment of networking and compute resources.
  • Implement state file management using remote backends with locking and versioning to prevent configuration drift.
  • Enforce IaC code reviews using pre-commit hooks and static analysis tools like Checkov or tfsec.
  • Design reusable module inputs to support multiple environments while maintaining isolation and naming consistency.
  • Automate drift detection by scheduling periodic plan executions and alerting on unapproved changes.
  • Integrate IaC into CI/CD pipelines with approval gates for production deployments using pull request workflows.

Module 8: Monitoring, Cost Management, and Operational Readiness

  • Deploy centralized monitoring dashboards using CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, or third-party tools to track resource utilization and error rates.
  • Set up predictive cost alerts based on historical spend trends to flag potential budget overruns.
  • Configure automated scaling policies using CPU, memory, and custom metrics to balance performance and cost.
  • Document runbooks for common failure scenarios such as database failover, DNS misconfigurations, and IAM lockouts.
  • Conduct cutover dry runs to validate DNS TTL adjustments, database replication lag, and application failback procedures.
  • Establish operational handover processes including shift rotations, escalation paths, and incident response integration.
