Course Overview

Most outages involving big data storage cost optimisation are triggered by a change somebody considered routine. Availability targets for cost optimisation are commercial commitments, whatever the engineering team calls them. The version of this aspect of technology and systems delivery described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what big data storage cost optimisation has actually achieved. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this area of technology and systems delivery, not for observers of it. The programme converts cost optimisation from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Participants test their assumptions about big data storage cost optimisation against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Comparative studies of cost optimisation across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The final module sets out how progress on the technology and systems delivery capability will be evidenced six months later.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Design backup and recovery for big data storage cost optimisation and prove it by restoring.

02

Prepare a short, evidence-based briefing on cost optimisation for senior management.

03

Control technical debt in big data storage cost optimisation deliberately rather than by neglect.

04

Align cost optimisation with the wider objectives of the technical platform rather than optimising it in isolation.

05

Set the minimum documentation for big data storage cost optimisation that is genuinely necessary, and stop there.

06

Establish monitoring and alerting on cost optimisation that reflects user experience.

07

Test big data storage cost optimisation under realistic load before it meets real load.

Big data storage cost optimisation: incident response and severity

2 sessions · 8 points

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

  • Restore a backup of big data storage cost optimisation in a test environment and time it.
  • Review access rights on cost optimisation and remove what is no longer needed.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when big data storage cost optimisation underperforms.
  • Set delivery and reliability indicators for cost optimisation the team trusts.

Session 2Retiring the legacy part of cost optimisation

  • Build the competence framework that supports big data storage cost optimisation.
  • Agree what will be standardised in cost optimisation and what will not.
  • Run a load test on big data storage cost optimisation at expected peak plus a margin.

02

Cost optimisation: requirements, targets and service levels

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Sizing capacity for cost optimisation on measured growth

  • Define incident severity levels for big data storage cost optimisation and the response each triggers.
  • State the availability and recovery objectives for cost optimisation as numbers.
  • Apply change control to big data storage cost optimisation including emergency changes.
  • Map the handovers in cost optimisation between functions and secure them.

Session 2Getting other functions to support cost optimisation

  • Identify the single points of failure in big data storage cost optimisation.
  • Check that records of cost optimisation answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Review logging on big data storage cost optimisation for coverage and retention.
  • Confirm that contractual obligations around cost optimisation are understood.
03

Cost optimisation: build, pipeline and release discipline

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The paperwork for cost optimisation that is actually needed

  • Rehearse the briefing on big data storage cost optimisation that would follow an incident.
  • Identify single points of dependency in cost optimisation and reduce them.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of big data storage cost optimisation current.
  • Set the review interval for cost optimisation and who attends.

Session 2Setting availability and recovery targets for big data storage cost optimisation honestly

  • Confirm data retention and deletion rules applied within big data storage cost optimisation.
  • Assess the exit route from any cloud or vendor dependency in cost optimisation.
  • Test the failover for big data storage cost optimisation rather than assuming it works.
  • Define acceptance criteria for cost optimisation in advance.
04

Cost optimisation: change control and rollback

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Escalation and decision rights in cost optimisation

  • Check that big data storage cost optimisation still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Build the internal briefing that explains cost optimisation to those affected.
  • Document the runbook for big data storage cost optimisation to the level a new engineer could use.
  • Anticipate the objections cost optimisation will raise and prepare the answers.

Session 2The change to cost optimisation that caused the last outage

  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to big data storage cost optimisation.
  • Collect evidence on the present handling of cost optimisation before proposing changes.
  • Inventory third-party dependencies inside big data storage cost optimisation and their update status.
  • Confirm every release of cost optimisation can be rolled back within a defined time.
