Course Overview
Technical debt in cloud backup and recovery is borrowed against future delivery capacity, at compound interest. The documentation for backup and recovery is accurate only until the next release. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this strand of technology and systems delivery hard in practice. What blocks progress on cloud backup and recovery is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what the technology and systems delivery discipline has actually achieved. Participants leave with a method for backup and recovery, not a set of opinions about it. Organisations that document cloud backup and recovery properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for backup and recovery. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the practice within technology and systems delivery sustainable.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Reduce avoidable variation in how backup and recovery is carried out across teams.
Build incident response for cloud backup and recovery with defined severity and escalation.
Test backup and recovery under realistic load before it meets real load.
Control technical debt in cloud backup and recovery deliberately rather than by neglect.
