Course Overview

The documentation for efficient big data storage is accurate only until the next release. Security and delivery speed are traded against each other in data storage whether or not anyone says so. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this strand of technology and systems delivery, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Plans for efficient big data storage often fail at the handover point between functions. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this area of technology and systems delivery and the judgement to adapt it. The content is relevant to those who own data storage and to those who are held accountable for its results. Applied research in technology and systems delivery consistently shows that early structure around efficient big data storage reduces downstream rework. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on data storage and revise it on evidence. The final session converts the week's work on the practice within technology and systems delivery into commitments with owners and dates.

Course Modules

01

Efficient big data storage: build, pipeline and release discipline

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Monitoring efficient big data storage from the user's point of view

  • Prepare the summary of efficient big data storage that senior management will read.
  • Set delivery and reliability indicators for data storage the team trusts.
  • Run a load test on efficient big data storage at expected peak plus a margin.
  • Confirm data retention and deletion rules applied within data storage.

Session 2Sizing capacity for data storage on measured growth

  • Identify the single points of failure in efficient big data storage.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when data storage underperforms.
  • Confirm every release of efficient big data storage can be rolled back within a defined time.
  • Close out actions on data storage rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
02

Data storage: incident response and severity

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Setting availability and recovery targets for data storage honestly

  • Reduce the variation in how efficient big data storage is carried out between teams.
  • Review logging on data storage for coverage and retention.
  • State the availability and recovery objectives for efficient big data storage as numbers.
  • Benchmark the organisation's data storage against comparable operations.

Session 2Testing data storage before relying on it

  • Arrange the handover of efficient big data storage so capability survives staff changes.
  • Review access rights on data storage and remove what is no longer needed.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in efficient big data storage.
  • Assess the exit route from any cloud or vendor dependency in data storage.
03

Data storage: capacity, performance and load

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Designing data storage around how it will fail

  • Confirm the support model and escalation path for efficient big data storage.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to data storage will be introduced.
  • Apply change control to efficient big data storage including emergency changes.
  • Compare the cost of data storage with the cost of its absence.

Session 2What to measure in efficient big data storage and what to ignore

  • Confirm that reporting on efficient big data storage reaches the people who can act.
  • Agree the smallest change to data storage that would be visibly useful.
  • Identify where judgement in efficient big data storage is legitimate and where it is not.
  • Verify six months later that changes to data storage have held.
04

Data storage: architecture and designing for failure

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Escalation and decision rights in data storage

  • Test the failover for efficient big data storage rather than assuming it works.
  • Agree the indicators that will show whether data storage is improving.
  • Inventory third-party dependencies inside efficient big data storage and their update status.
  • Document the runbook for data storage to the level a new engineer could use.

Session 2Proving the backup of data storage by restoring it

  • Measure current load on efficient big data storage and project it forward twelve months.
  • Confirm that contractual obligations around data storage are understood.
  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to efficient big data storage.
  • Define incident severity levels for data storage and the response each triggers.
