Course Overview

Systems supporting enterprise virtual machine environments fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. Security and delivery speed are traded against each other in machine environments whether or not anyone says so. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this part of technology and systems delivery rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Applied research in technology and systems delivery consistently shows that early structure around enterprise virtual machine environments reduces downstream rework. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the wider technology and systems delivery agenda, not around theory headings. Participants gain a realistic view of what machine environments costs and what it returns. Progress on enterprise virtual machine environments is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for machine environments, not for observers of it. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the technology and systems delivery discipline ready to put in front of a decision maker.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Measure delivery and reliability of enterprise virtual machine environments with indicators teams trust.

02

03

Apply data protection and retention requirements within enterprise virtual machine environments.

04

Establish what evidence would demonstrate that machine environments is under control.

05

Estimate what enterprise virtual machine environments costs to run properly, and what is lost when it is not.

06

Build incident response for machine environments with defined severity and escalation.

07

Document enterprise virtual machine environments to the level a new engineer could operate it.

Enterprise virtual machine environments: incident response and severity

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Building lasting competence in enterprise virtual machine environments

  • Confirm every release of enterprise virtual machine environments can be rolled back within a defined time.
  • Estimate the resource machine environments requires to run as designed.
  • Test the procedure for enterprise virtual machine environments against a realistic scenario.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates machine environments is under control.

Session 2Monitoring machine environments from the user's point of view

  • Build the internal briefing that explains enterprise virtual machine environments to those affected.
  • Define the trigger that would require machine environments to be redesigned.
  • Test the failover for enterprise virtual machine environments rather than assuming it works.
  • Apply change control to machine environments including emergency changes.
02

Machine environments: capacity, performance and load

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Making machine environments work when resources are constrained

  • Compare the cost of enterprise virtual machine environments with the cost of its absence.
  • Set the review interval for machine environments and who attends.
  • Identify the single points of failure in enterprise virtual machine environments.
  • Check that machine environments still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.

Session 2Dependencies and supply chain risk in machine environments

  • Configure alerting on enterprise virtual machine environments that reflects what users experience.
  • Set out how exceptions to machine environments are requested and approved.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to enterprise virtual machine environments will be introduced.
  • Define incident severity levels for machine environments and the response each triggers.
03

Machine environments: security, identity and least privilege

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Running an incident on machine environments calmly

  • Restore a backup of enterprise virtual machine environments in a test environment and time it.
  • Check that records of machine environments answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Record the technical debt in enterprise virtual machine environments and schedule repayment.
  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about machine environments.

Session 2Designing enterprise virtual machine environments around how it will fail

  • Set delivery and reliability indicators for enterprise virtual machine environments the team trusts.
  • Review access rights on machine environments and remove what is no longer needed.
  • Plan the decommissioning of the legacy component enterprise virtual machine environments replaces.
  • Confirm the support model and escalation path for machine environments.
04

Machine environments: change control and rollback

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The change to machine environments that caused the last outage

  • Confirm that those complying with enterprise virtual machine environments understand why it exists.
  • State the availability and recovery objectives for machine environments as numbers.
  • Document the runbook for enterprise virtual machine environments to the level a new engineer could use.
  • Name a single owner for each element of machine environments.

Session 2The paperwork for machine environments that is actually needed

  • Map the handovers in enterprise virtual machine environments between functions and secure them.
  • Assess the exit route from any cloud or vendor dependency in machine environments.
  • Measure current load on enterprise virtual machine environments and project it forward twelve months.
  • Confirm that contractual obligations around machine environments are understood.
